DIREKTIVA EVROPSKE UNIJE O SUZBIJANjU PRANjA NOVCA PUTEM KRIVIČNOG PRAVA

Abstract

The paper presents the European Union Directive 2018/1673 on combating money laundering through criminal law. The goal of this international document is the harmonization of criminal law in the European countries in order to form a unique strategy to combat money laundering. Since the current Law on Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism, as amended, is harmonized with the so-called The fifth directive of the European Union, we will first give an overview of the key features of the directives that preceded Directive 2018/1673 and then make a comparison of the international document in question with relevant provisions in the current Criminal Code of Serbia and the Law on Prevention of Money Laundering. It was established that the Serbian Criminal Code adopted the largest number of European recommendations.
