Summary/Abstract: The use of and official position is legally regulated. Its abuse is also legally regulated by the provision of the Criminal Code. Criminal acts against official duty do not use their topicality. Ignorance of the essential elements of these criminal acts and the arbitrary interpretation and understanding of the grounds that exclude illegality are sometimes the reasons for their minimization and wrong subsumption under other types of punishable behavior. In this paper, we will analyze the criminal offense of abuse of official position or authority from Article 315 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Srpska and consider its relationship with the criminal offense of abuse at work from Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Srpska.
