Summary/Abstract: Cybercrime rapidly developed in last decade of 20th century, and in first years of 21st century its evolution is even more evident. States responded to this threat by introducing new measures into their legal systems, trying to reconcile traditional criminal law with new need to perceive, investigate and prove newly introduced criminal offences. After the initial period of implementation of these measures, we can argue about their success, but also we have to point out defects of comprehensions that prevail in this field at the moment. Unification and harmonization, as well as efficient international cooperation, are basics for better coordination of transnational efforts to suppress cybercrime. Comparative analysis is not possible without review of the only relevant international document on cybercrime – Convention on Cybercrime of Council of Europe and pointing out its significance worldwide. Finally, we briefly deal with achievements of Serbia, as one of few countries that realized there is a need to introduce specialized state institutions to fight cybercrime and to set highest standards of implementation of all relevant legal and technical instruments in order to prevent misusage of high technologies.
