Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to make an overview of the legal framework that regulates the institute of confiscation in the countries of the Western Balkans such as Serbia, Albania and Slovenia, with special emphasis on North Macedonia. By examining the similarities and the differences, this research aims to provide insights into the effectiveness and potential areas for improvement of the confiscation of proceeds crime. The study reveals that countries such as Albania, Serbia and Slovenia have clearer and more concrete legislation regarding the confiscation, as the confiscation procedure is regulated by special laws. The legal solutions regarding confiscation in North Macedonia are outdated and as a result the implementation of the confiscation measure is minimal. This study employs comparative research methods combined with legal analysis. The results obtained from the work can be used by policymakers to improve the legislation regarding confiscation.
