SPORAZUM O PRIZNANJU KRIVICE –
PRIMJENA U PRAKSI

PLEA AGREEMENT – APPLICATION IN PRACTICE

Sažetak

Sporazum o priznanju krivice je institut angloameričkog pravnog sistema koji posljednjih trideset godina zauzima značajno mjesto u krivičnoprocesnim zakonodavstvima evropskih zemalja, približavajući na taj način dva različita pravna sistema.
U Zakonu o krivičnom postupku Bosne i Hercegovine, pregovaranje o sporazumnom priznanju krivice tretira se u članu 231. Sporazum se može zaključivati bez obzira na vrstu krivičnog djela.Ovaj institut se svakodnevno prihvata u novo evropsko zakonodavstvo, a njegova primjena se konstantno širi i modifikuje. Iako je još uvijek na meti mnogih kritika, naročito evropskih i konzervativnih pravnih stručnjaka, evidentno je da je uvođenje ovog instrumenta polučilo vidljive rezultate.

Ključne riječi: sporazum, priznanje, krivica, zakon, tužilac, krivični postupak.

Abstract

The plea agreement is the Institute of Anglo-American legal system that, in the last thirty years, has a significant place in the criminal procedure legislation of European countries, integrating in that way two different legal systems. In the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the negotiation of a consensual confession of guilt is treated in Article 231. The agreement can be concluded regardless of the type of crime. This institute is daily accepted to the new European legislation and its application is constantly expanding and modifying. Although it is still the target of much criticism, especially by European and conservative legal experts, it is evident that the introduction of this instrument has achieved visible results.

Key words: agreement, confession, guilt, law, prosecutor, criminal procedure.
