Annotation: Medieval Serbia and Bosnia were in direct contact with Western Europe and Byzantium. Bosnia was part of Rascia (Serbia) until the middle of the 10th century, and since then it has embarked on the path of independent development.

Annotation: The article analyzes the problem of applying the results of operational-search activities as evidence, judicial practice related to this aspect. The issue of legalization of the results of operational-search activities is one of the most relevant in the criminal procedure science. However, some problems directly related to the implementation of operationalsearch measures remain unresolved. In practice, courts of general jurisdiction, when considering criminal cases, in the vast majority of cases, in their convictions refer to the results of the operational-search activity as evidence, listing the testimonies of witnesses, reports and memos separated by commas. Confirmation of this position by the author was found in a number of analyzed court decisions. As a result, the author concludes that it is necessary to regulate in the criminal procedure legislation an independent procedure for legalizing operational-search activities and adjusting the procedure for the use of technical means when fixing observed events in the course of operationalsearch activities. The use of such means should be allowed only with a special judicial decision.
