Abstract:Purpose: This article presents the Witness Protection Program in BiH and the conditions for meeting the requirements for the starting the Witness Protection Program. It summarizes and explains the institution of the Witness Protection Program – the model in BiH, and considers the new proposals for de lege ferenda solutions within the Law on Witness Protection Program in BiH. Design/Methods/Approach: In this study, the author used scientific methods, such as analysis, comparative methods, and case studies, as well as quantitative and qualitative research. The data used in this study is based on the survey that shows the size of groups of offenders accused for organized crime in BiH in the 2004–2008 period. The study covers criminal organizations that were founded in BiH at the beginning of 2003, and sentenced for organised crime. Findings: The aim is to present the active role of the Witness Protection Program as a relevant mechanism for fighting organized crime today. The study also deals with the importance of international relocation and identity change of witnesses, the situation and role of the protected witness. Originality/Value: The Witness Protection Program is a new institution in the field of criminal justice in BiH, but it is not the only one, and it should be the primary tool for the joint fight against organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study also reflects on the model in BiH as an important factor in the international surrounding, its active role, its participation and contribution in the protection of future protected witnesses and their unobstructed testimonies in criminal proceedings.

Title:Program za zaščito prič v Bosni in Hercegovini v primerih organizirane kriminalitete
Abstract:Namen prispevka: Članek predstavlja program za zaščito prič v Bosni in Hercegovini (BiH) in pogoje, katerim je bilo treba zadostiti pri vzpostavitvi programa. Prispevek povzema in obrazloži samo ureditev bosanskega modela programa za zaščito prič in tehta nove predloge de lege ferenda za omenjeni program. Metode: Avtor je uporabil znanstvene metode analiziranja, primerjalne metode in študij primera kot tudi kvantitativne in kvalitativne raziskovalne metode. Iz pregleda obtožnic, vloženih zoper kriminalne skupine v obdobju 2004–2008, je bila narejena analiza, ki prikazuje število članov tovrstnih skupin. V članku predstavljen primer prikazuje delovanje kriminalne organizacije, ki je bila vzpostavljena v BiH v začetku leta 2003 in kaznovana zaradi aktivnosti organizirane kriminalitete Ugotovitve: Predstaviti aktivno in relevantno vlogo mehanizmov programa za zaščito prič pri boju zoper organizirano kriminaliteto v dandanašnjem svetu. Študija primera prikazuje uporabnost mednarodne re-lokacije in zamenjave identitete prič kot tudi situacije in vlogo zaščitene priče Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Program za zaščito prič predstavlja novo ureditev s področja kazenskega pregona v Bosni in Hercegovini. Program bi moral biti glavno orodje za skupni boj proti organizirani kriminaliteti. Študija orisuje bosanski model programa v (pomembni) navezavi z mednarodnim okoljem, njegovo aktivno vlogo, participacijo in doprinos pri bodoči zaščiti prič ter zagotovitev za neovirano pričevanje slednjih v kazenskih postopkih.
