Some Solutions in the Draft of Criminal Code of the Republic of Srpska // Pojedina rješenja u nacrtu krivičnog zakonika Republike Srpske

Abstract

The paper presents the text and analysis of individual characteristic solutions according to the current version of the Draft of the new Criminal Code of Republika Srpska, which was drafted by the working group of the Ministry of Justice of Republika Srpska. It’s about these institutes from the general part: pronouncement of imprisonment for up to six months, prohibition of driving a motor vehicle, acquisition and prolonged criminal offense and the safety measure of compulsory psychiatric treatment and care in a health institution. Given that almost all of the foregoing is deviating from the multiannual established principles and attitudes of legal science and jurisprudence, we expect that these solutions will cause considerable attention but also cause certain problems in practical application. Considering that some of the selected and processed solutions are unnecessary and the other undefined and undetermined, this paper aims to draw the attention of the scientific and professional public in order to form a view on the real need for such solutions to be truly adopted.
