“…A recent report estimated that just in the year 2014, assets worth more than two billion euros were confiscated from criminal groups in Italy, Germany, Spain, France, England, and Wales (Vettori et al 2014;Transcrime 2015). The USA has extended such practices to the proceeds related to terrorist groups (Ryder 2013).…”

This paper addresses the question BHow does the fight against organized crime affect regional entrepreneurship?^We focus on asset confiscation in relation to alleged connections of their owners with organized crime, a highly debated policy measure against organized crime. Extending work on institutions and regional entrepreneurship, we propose that confiscation has contrasting effects on regional entries. On the one hand, confiscation of economic assets associated with criminal organizations' legitimate activities in a region reduces competition and triggers renewal, fostering new entries. On the other hand, seizure of criminal organizations' operational assets weakens their ability to exercise sovereignty, creating an institutional vacuum that lowers founding rates. Our results, based on a longitudinal study of Italian provinces between 2009 and 2013, provide support for both hypotheses. We also find that the negative effect associated with the confiscation of operational assets is mitigated when local governments have policies facilitating asset redeployment.

“…Takođe, u skladu sa namjenom privremeno oduzete nepokretne imovine, ista se može dati u zakup po osnovu ugovora o zakupu, a novčana sredstva dobijena zakupom pripadaju budžetu entiteta, odnosno Brčko distrikta. 16 Na prijedlog nadležne agencije, odnosno kancelarije, vlade entiteta i Brčko distrikta donose odluku kojom se privremeno ili trajno oduzeta imovina, kao što su predmeti od kulturne, istorijske, umjetničke i naučne vrijednosti, mogu ustupiti na čuvanje ili korištenje specijalizovanim ustanovama, odnosno ustanovama nadležnim za čuvanje takvih predmeta. 17 Agencija predaje na čuvanje navedene predmete specijalizovanim ustanovama koje se primarno finansiraju iz državnog, federalnog ili kantonalnog budžeta.…”

Organi Oduzimanjem prihoda od kriminalnih aktivnosti bi se smanjila po- tencijalna dobit od izvršenja krivičnih djela, te bavljenje kriminalitetnim aktivnostima postalo manje unosna, a samim tim i manje privlačna dje- latnost. Dakle, ovo bi mogla i trebala biti značajna generalno preventivna mjera u borbi s kriminalitetom. U radu je analizirana zakonska regulativa u vezi sa ponovnom upotrebom oduzete imovine unutar Bosne i Hercegovine, i napravljen kratak prikaz pozitivnih praksi iz okruženja i Evrope. Nakon analize norme analizirana je i praksa nadležnih tjela za upravljanje oduzetom imovinom u entitetima i Brčko distriktu. Na ovaj način se željela testirati hipoteza ovog istraživanja koja je glasila: pitanje ponovne upotrebe oduzete imovine potrebno je sveobuhvatnije definisati pravnim normama te kroz propisane ovlasti nadležnih tijela utvrditi širi spektar načina ponovne upotrebe oduzete imovine, naložiti im veću transparentnost rada, veću saradnju sa civilnim društvom. Provedenom analizom norme i empirijskim istraživanjem prakse nadležnih tijela potvrđena je postavljena hipoteza. Analiza pravnih normi, kao i rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na potrebu i korisne smjernice za nadogradnju važećeg pravnog okvira u entitetima, uz korištenje dobrih praksi zemalja okruženja i Evrope. Neophodno je rad nadležnih tijela učiniti transparentnijim i obezbjediti ponovnu upotrebu oduzete imovine u društvenoj zajednici na mnogo načina kako bi se povećalo povjerenje građana u ovaj proces. Ključne riječi: kriminal, oduzimanje imovine u krivičnom postupku, ponovna upotreba imovine

“…Notwithstanding the establishment of AMOs in many EU and non EU countries, 5 "there have been few instructions on how they should collect and manage data". 6 The first institution taking a position on this issue was, in 2005, the Criminal Legal Affairs working group of the G8, that suggested that: "States should consider the use of information technology (IT) systems for the administration of seized property.…”

Over the past decades, many EU and non EU countries have amended their legislative and institutional framework on proceeds of crime confiscation to deprive criminals of their assets more effectively and to better manage and dispose of them. There are still, however, some under-researched issues that could greatly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of confiscation policies. A first topic is the contribution that databases can give to asset management and disposal; the second one deals with a particular asset disposal option which involves giving criminal proceeds back to the communities affected by crime and promoting their use in line with communal needs: social reuse. This article responds to this question: what is the current situation regarding these two key issues in the Republic of North Macedonia?
