Abstract
No country has impregnable border security because there are not sufficient security officers and not enough modern equipment to block ali threats. To deploy existing resources to best effect a risk analysis has to be performed. Risk analysis is an important concept within the European Union (EU). The importance of risk analysis is clearly defined in the EU Schengen Catalogue and the Schengen Border Code. As Croatia has decided to join the EU, and thereby the Schengen Agreement, risk analysis will become a familiar concept to the Croatian border security forces. The first part of the article is an introduction to the concept of risk analysis, and the second part discusses the performance of operational risk analysis for border control and state border protection.
