This article examines the extent to which Serbia has implemented relevant international standards on action against transnational organised crime contained in the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime 2000. The first part explores key obligations with particular reference to prohibition of substantive offences, intelligence-led law enforcement (special investigative techniques), confiscation of criminal proceeds, as well as international law enforcement cooperation. The second part of the article analyses how these obligations are implemented by Serbia in reality by examining legislative frameworks as well as law enforcement practices. The main conclusion is that, while Serbia has taken some steps to implement international standards with a view to enhancing individual and collective actions against transnational organised crime, effective law enforcement is hampered by issues such as corruption and a lack of expertise, experience and resources.

The contemporary social conditions increasingly enable the development of transnational organized crime. Considering this fact a global response is required, or rather the development of general strategies of international character. The authors of the paper discuss certain, i.e. the most dangerous forms of organized crime which are present in Serbia as well as in the entire international community. Also, in order to make investigations and prosecutions easier, it is necessary to develop cooperation. Information exchange, as well as exchange of intelligence and evidence collecting data is a prerequisite for improving safety. Timely access to the relevant and objective information is a key element for successful detection, prevention and proving criminal offenses. Enhancing the cooperation , defining the legal framework and the establishing of technical possibilities, particularly with the handling of electronic, digital evidence, effective and timely compliance with requests for mutual legal assistance are prerequisites for success.
