Autor prvo izlaže svoje shvatanje o tome kako je i kada nastao organizovani kriminal u Srbiji i kako se, relativno sporo, formirala društvena svest o izuzetno velikoj opasnosti od te vrste kriminala. On smatra da je organizovani kriminal u toj državi pojava novijeg datuma, da ga u bivšoj autoritarnoj i polupolicijskoj Jugoslaviji nije bilo kao danas, ni po obimu, niti prema pojavnim formama i da je za njegovu pojavu i ekspanziju odgovoran vladajući režim devedesetih godina prošloga veka, te da se svest o neophodnosti efi kasne borbe protiv toga kriminala stvarala teško i sporo i posle smene toga režima u 2000. godini. Kada je posle izvesnog vremena ta svest ipak formirana doneti su materijalnopravni, procesni i organizacioni propisi, koji su omogućili efi kasniju i adekvatniju reakciju države protiv organizovanih kriminalnih grupa. Autor na kraju konstatuje da su na tome planu postignuti izvesni početni rezultati, ali da se i u zakonodavnoj i u pravosudnoj praksi u ovoj oblasti mogu uočiti izvesna zabrinjavajuća lutanja, zablude i promašena rešenja, ali da to nije samo specifi čnost Srbije, već i mnogih drugih država u svetu.Firstly, the author presents his understanding of how organised crime in Serbia came about. Also, he discusses how relatively slowly social awareness has developed of the enormously great danger this type of crime presents. The author holds that organised crime in this country is a more recent occurrence and that it was not present as such in the former authoritarian and partly police state of Yugoslavia, neither in extent nor in form. The author further holds that the governing regime from the nineteen nineties is responsible for its occurrence and expansion. Also, he believes that awareness of the necessity of effectively combating this type of crime has developed slowly and with difficulty and only after the governing regime changed in 2000. When, after a certain period of time, that awareness had nevertheless developed, substantive, procedural and organisational regulations were formulated which enabled more efficient and adequate reactions from the state against organised criminal groups. The author finally concludes that, in this area, indisputable initial results have been achieved. However, in legislative and judicial practice in this region, definitely worrying digressions, misconceptions and erroneous solutions are obvious. However, this not only peculiar to Serbia, but to many other states in the world as well
