Sažetak
Organised crime represents an ongoing security risk in the post-Cold War European security environment.
Furthermore, as a broader social deviation, it represents a challenge to both the security intelligence
and the policing authority. The above-cited bodies are constituent bodies of the national security of
each country, which, in cooperation and coordination with partner bodies, work on the prevention and
suppression of criminal activities and criminal associations. The mentioned activities and associations
are, by their very nature, characterised by a degree of secrecy. Therefore, in detecting them, state bodies
should, proportionally, use secret measures and actions, which in turn limit fundamental human rights
and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and international conventions. This paper is thematically
divided and contains an introduction, followed by thecentral parts which scrutinise the relationship of
national security to organised crime. Moreover, attention is paid to the work of security and intelligence
services, transnational organised crime and its development in the Republic of Croatia. Special attention
is paid to Southeastern Europe, with an overview of legal regulations. Finally, this paper ends with
concluding remarks. The aim of the paper is to clarify the signifcance and impact of organised crime on
national security in the Republic of Croatia. This was accomplished through several methods – analysis,
description and case study. Furthermore, the paper recommends measures to prevent and suppress these
negative social phenomena.
