Sažetak
The introduction of plea bargains as part of a comprehensive reform of criminal procedure in Bosnia and Herzegovina purported not only the changes in terms of the role of prosecutors and suspects/
indictees but also increased the efficiency and improved realisation of the principle of fairness. Based on an appropriate theoretical framework connected to the economic analysis of (criminal) law and the Landes model, the authors' intent aimed towards determining the level of intuitive negotiation behaviour of the prosecutor in the procedure of using the plea bargains in the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Together with cantonal prosecutors' offices in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an online survey was conducted to this end. The research aimed to determine the presence of economic principles of efficiency and rationality regarding the prosecutors' decisions regarding "opting" for the instrument of agreements on the admission of guilt and whether they have the predominance over the principle of fairness.
