Abstract

Teza disertacije si prizadeva raziskati oblike in razloge za nastanek organiziranega criminal v tranzicijskih državah in zagotoviti pravno analizo omenjenega pojava s posebnim poudarkom na Kosovu. Organizirani kriminal, zlasti nekatere resne oblike tega pojava v 21. stoletju predstavljajo enega od glavnih izzivov pravne države, kazenskega pregona in pravičnosti, političnega sistema in demokracije na splošno. Boj in preprečevanje organiziranega kriminala, zlasti nekaterih oblik, kot so terorizem, korupcija, trgovina z ljudmi, trgovina z mamili (itd.), zahteva poseben analitični pristop in oblike boja z nacionalne in mednarodne perspektive. V ta namen je potrebno ustanoviti ločene nacionalne in mednarodne ustanove. Kosovo predstavlja novo državo s približno 2 milijonoma prebivalcev, ki se v zadnjih dvajsetih letih obstoja sooča s pojavom organiziranega kriminala. Namen disertacije je raziskati najtežje oblike kriminala in razloge za pojav fenomena na Kosovu s poudarkom na obdobju 2005-2015. Del teze so med drugim tudi študije primerov pravosodnega sistema na Kosovu. Za analizirano obdobje so značilni trije različni pravni statusi Kosova: 2005-2008 status mednarodnega protektorata; 2008-2012 pod nadzorom mednarodne skupnosti (zlasti na področju pravne države in sodstva); od leta 2012 naprej pa ima Kosovo status neodvisne države. Teza vključuje tudi dojemanje kosovskih državljanov o razlogih in prisotnih oblikah organiziranega kriminala na Kosovu. Poleg tega, teza ponuja tudi nekaj neposrednih podatkov o zapornikih, ki so prestali zaporno kazen zaradi svojih kriminalnih dejavnosti. Raziskava je preko vprašalnikov razdeljenim med 205 zapornikov (153 v zaporu Dubrava in 50 v zaporu za visoko varnost), prvič osvetlila razloge za pojav organiziranega kriminala na Kosovu. Ti podatki bodo v prihodnosti služili državnim ustanovam ter različnim raziskovalcem na področju študij kazenskega prava.

Secondary abstract:	This dissertation thesis has the goal of researching the forms and reasons for the emergence of organized crime in countries undergoing a transition process and legal analysis of this phenomenon with emphasis on the case of Kosovo. Organized crime, especially certain serious forms of this phenomenon, nowadays in the 21st century represent one of the main challenges to rule of law, law enforcement and judiciary, the political system as well as to democracy as such. Combat against and the prevention of organized crime, especially of certain forms, such as terrorism, corruption, trafficking in human beings, trafficking of narcotic substances, etc., requires special analysis and forms of fight from a national and international perspective. For this purpose, special national and international institutions had to be established. Kosovo represents a young country with a population of around 2 million inhabitants, and has been dealing with the phenomenon of organized crime for the last twenty years of its existence. The goal of this PhD thesis is to research the most serious forms of crimes and the causes for the emergence of this phenomenon in Kosovo with emphasis on the period 2005-2015. In addition, part of this thesis are case studies from the justice system of Kosovo. The analyzed period is characterized by three different legal statuses of Kosovo: 2005-2008 it was an international protectorate; 2008 - 2012 it was under supervised independence by the international community, especially in the area of rule of law and justice; and from 2012 onwards it is an independent state. This thesis also includes the perception of citizens of Kosovo on how they perceive the reasons and the forms of organized crime in Kosovo. In addition, this thesis provides some direct qualitative information from imprisoned persons who are serving their time in prison due to their criminal activities. The research of the reasons through the survey of 205 imprisoned persons (153 in Dubrava prison and 52 in the high security prison) has shed light for the first time in Kosovo as regards to the reasons for emergence of organized crime. This data will serve in the future for the state institutions and various researchers in the area of criminal law studies.
