Abstract

The subject study contains an analytical overview of the most important legal acts on the suppression of terrorism adopted under the auspices of European regional organizations - the Council of Europe and the European Union. These acts essentially complement the United Nations legal framework, which aims to contribute to the universal fight against terrorism as an international crime that threatens international peace and security. Hence, in contemporary international relations, European countries have accepted the obligation to cooperate with each other in taking preventive and prohibitive measures and actions in the fight against international terrorism. Given that there are general standards in assisting in the detection, extradition, prosecution and punishment of perpetrators of terrorist acts, Serbia, as a candidate country for membership of the European Union, is obliged to harmonize its internal legislation with European legal standards for the suppression of international terrorism. This is due to the fact that Serbia through this process demonstrates its ability to engage in dialogue with all EU Member States on the implementation of the objectives of its Common Foreign and Security Policy, as well as on the fulfilment of the obligations arising from the pre-accession Chapter 24 concerning the harmonization of the domestic legal and institutional system with European standards in the area of freedom, justice and security.
