High tech crime (hereinafter: HTC) is becoming ever more conspicuous and not only at the global level. The number of offenses has been growing continuously, from one year to the next, in almost all parts of the world. The Republic of Serbia is not exempt from these issues, on any grounds, and must follow global trends both in terms of the manifestation of HTC and the application of adequate countermeasures. When it comes to the priorities in the fight against HTC, the first place belongs to adequate legislation fully compliant with modern international standards. Serbia is required to adopt a national strategy for combating high tech crime and, in compliance with the same, an action plan for its implementation. This commitment stems from the Negotiating Criteria for Chapter 24 of Justice, Freedom, Security. The European Union warned of this obligation (hereinafter: EU), as Serbia ratified the Convention on High Tech Crime (compiled in Budapest, Budapest Convention) in 2009 and invited Serbia to further align its legislation with the 2013/40/EU Directive on attacks against information systems. In order to examine this issue in Serbia, this paper will address current trends in HTC during the 2013-2017 period.
