Abstract

One of means of evidence that the new 2012 Code on Criminal Procedure of the Republika Srpska recognizes is expertise. This is a particularly sensitive evidence because it helps the Court Panel to decide on a number of criminal and legal matters for which it does not have any particular, special or specific knowledge and skills, but gets help from an expert. This paper is about the concept, characteristics and types of expertise, and the position of an expert in the court proceedings, both from theoretical and practical aspect.
