MEĐUNARODNI I NACIONALNI LEGISLATIVNI OKVIR PRIVATNE BEZBEDNOSTI U ZAŠTITI LICA, IMOVINE I POSLOVANJA

The paper discusses the legal status, organization and activities of the Private Security Sector in the Republic of Serbia in the function of protection of persons, property and business. The introductory part talks about private security, which in developed countries has an enviable place in the security system. In countries in transition, private security has accompanied social and economic changes and has gained in importance in recent years. After the disintegration of the SFRY for a full twenty years, this sector was not legally regulated by the main law in Serbia, but general regulations were applied, which fragmentarily deal with the issue of FTO and regulate economic business, work and employment. In the second part, the central part, the most important international legal sources and solutions from our national framework are presented. At the end of 2013, the Law on Private Security and the Law on Detective Activity were adopted, as well as bylaws for their implementation. Adequate legal regulations in this area are especially important due to Serbia's application for EU accession and harmonization of regulations with EU law. The concluding part emphasizes the need for further harmonization of norms with the EU, building good practice and the need to strengthen the control and supervision of the private security sector by the state.
