EXPECTATIONS AND
TRENDS
We can assume that, during integration proceces of the Republic of
Croatia into the EU, along with legal business opportunity expansion,
organized criminal groups will try to take advantage of possibilities
that the new market for profit gaining in the Republic of Croatia gives
them.
Moving of the Schengen border towards the east will require increased
activities for suppression of drugs, humans and goods trafficing
through so called „Balcan route“. Abolition of border controls within
the EU can be considered as a mitigating factor for criminal groups
because it reduces the risk of detection of smuggled goods.
It is possible to expect that the additional growth of demand for
unskilled labour will convert the Republic of Croatia from transit
country to the country of destination for illegal migrants and victims of
human trafficing.
11
The predictions;
The trend analysis;
Taking into account information gathered on the basis of
international police cooperation;
Adjustment to the new circumstances  the important and
inevitable part of the job within the Criminal Police
Directorate and the Police National Office for Suppression of
Corruption and Organized Crime.
The ILP (Inteligence Led Policing-a) concept in its headway
 emphasis the crime-inteligence analysis and a proactive
approach of the organised crime suppression.
The focus of the police interests is moving from a reactive
to the proactive acting.
OCTA and stategic evaluation on national, regional and local
level are important diagnostic “tool” representing the
direction for future work.
An insight in the OCTA at the European level  trends,
12
preparation, respond.
