SKRIVENE I TEHNIČKE MJERE PRAĆENJA I ISTRAGE U KRIVIČNOM ZAKONODAVSTVU REPUBLIKE KOSOVO
HIDDEN AND TECHNICAL MONITORING AND INVESTIGATION MEASURES IN THE CRIMINAL LEGISLATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO

Summary/Abstract: The paper, predominantly on the basis of archival material and other relevant sources and literature, applying adequate scientific methods, investigates hidden and technical measures of monitoring and investigation within the criminal legislation of the Republic of Kosovo, in the period 2004-2009, and from 13.12.2012 the new CPC Code no. 04 /L-123, where the hidden and technical measures of monitoring and investigation remained the same only in the new CPC Judge before the trial procedure, at the request of the state prosecutor may order all measures individually.This time span seems to us socially and scientifically justified, because it is the time when the new Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kosovo came into force, and thus the application in practice of hidden and technical monitoring and investigation measures. The fact that the new CPC entered into force in 2003 is normal to have difficulties in implementing these measures, such as a lack of trained staff in computer forensics, legal wiretapping, computer crime, money laundering, and other specialized areas. The number of specialized prosecutors (with adequate training) and intended for criminal investigations related to organized crime is still insufficient. Institutions responsible for preventing and combating organized crime lack the necessary technical and technological information equipment as well as work space. The system of covert investigative measures as it is applied in Kosovo is very comprehensive and offers a large number of different measures to combat specific forms of crime. This time frame was also taken for the reason that the cases in which these measures were used have been completed so far and for the sake of a better comparison with the draft amendments to the CPC.
