Strategic and legal aspects of controlling terrorism with a particular focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina

Apstrakt: U radu se razmatraju strateški i pravni aspekti kontrole terorizma sa posebnim osvrtom na Bosnu i Hercegovinu. Cilj rada je utvrđivanje kvaliteta strateških i pravnih aspekata kontrole terorizma sa posebnim osvrtom na Bosnu i Hercegovinu, te u kojoj mjeri je zakonska regulativa koja se odnosi na borbu protiv terorizma u Bosni i Hercegovini usklađena sa međunarodnim, globalnim, strateškim i euro-atlanskim dokumentima. Isto tako, cilj rada je utvrđivanje kvaliteta procesa deradikalizacije u Bosni i Hercegovini, kao i u kojoj mjeri je zakonska regulativa koja reguliše nadležnost policijskih agencija u Bosni i Hercegovini u pogledu krivičnog djela terorizma prilagođena pomenutim agencijama. Pored toga, ovdje se nastoji prikazati i kvalitet institucionalne saradnje u pogledu borbe protiv terorizma u Bosni i Hercegovini, kvalitet saradnja Bosne i Hercegovine sa međunarodnom zajednicom, Evropskom unijom i zemljama iz regiona u pogledu kontrole terorizma, zatim, efikasnost zakonske regulative kojom se reguliše kontrola finansijskih tokova, kao i kvalitet saradnje između policije i građana u Bosni i Hercegovini u pogledu kontrole i prevencije terorizma. U vezi s tim, sprovedeno je istraživanje, gdje su korištena dva instrumenta, tačnije, dva intervjua i dvije ankete. Rezultati do kojih se došlo ukazuju na činjenicu da se u Bosni i Hercegovini, sa praktičnog aspekta veoma malo radi po pitanju borbe protiv terorizma, te da je takvo stanje prouzrokovano samom specifičnošću Bosne i Hercegovine kao države, počev od njene disfinkcionalnosti i različitih interesa konstitutivnih naroda, koji se u određenoj mjeri manifestuju njihovom nejednakom doživljavanju problema terorizma. Pored navedenog, u radu su kritički analizirani praktični problemi borbe protiv terorizma u svim segmentima društva, gdje su ponuđena kvalitetna riješenja.Abstract: The paper looks at strategic and legal aspects of controlling terrorism with a particular focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the paper is to determine the quality of strategic and legal aspects of controlling terrorism with a particular focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as to determine to what extent the legislation concerned with fighting terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina is in accordance with international, global and strategic documents. Moreover, the aim of the paper is to determine the quality of the process of deradicalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as to determine to what extent the legislation that regulates the competence of law enforcement agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina with respect to the criminal act of terrorism is in accordance with the aforementioned agencies. Additionally, the paper aims to present the quality of institutional cooperation in regards to fighting terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the quality of cooperation between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the international community, the European Union and other countries from the region in regards to fighting terrorism, followed by the effectiveness of the legislation which regulates the control of financial flows, as well as the quality of cooperation between law enforcement and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina in regards to controlling and preventing terrorism. In this respect, a study has been carried out, where two instruments were used, more precisely two interviews and two surveys. The results show that, from a practical standpoint, very little has been done in regards to fighting terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a situation that is caused by the specific nature of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country, starting from the country’s dysfunctionality and opposing interests of the constituent peoples, that is to a certain extent manifested by their unequal experience of the problem of terrorism. In addition, the paper critically analyzes the practical problems in the fight against terrorism in all segments of society and offers quality solutions for them
