Summary/Abstract: Instability and poor security conditions marked the last decade of 20th century, including political, normative, economic, social and moral crisis of society, as well as the geographical position and international transport routes, which go across its territory, made Serbia a very important factor of global criminal network. It proved to be that the traditional military security concept of state border with military patrols and checkpoints is not efficient. Therefore, it was replaced by the “European model” of integrated management of state border performed by several subjects of security. Implementing the proper high standards of outside border control of European Union, the Republic of Serbia shows readiness for implementing the Agreement of Security and Integration. Also, it is ready for improving the regional security and for reliable partnership with European Union in border control. That is the investment in future membership with EU, but also in the security of our citizens, international transport and international exchange of goods and services. At the same time, that is very important for national security of the Republic of Serbia, which will more efficiently deal with transnational security threats and contribute to international security. The thesis in the present text considers the position of Serbia relating to actual transnational security threats, as well as the principles of organizing, subjects, constitutional law and political and strategic basis of the new security border concept of the RS.
