"One of the features of all transition countries, which is also expressed in our country, is the level of identification between the political and the financial elites, where politicians often become the richest business leaders and vice versa. Interconnection and the mutual dependence of politics and the economy during the economic transition in Serbia is present to the extent that it allows individuals who have prominent positions in government, or tremendous economic power in society, to get away with numerous criminal offences which represent the very core of economic crime. It requires the existence of a clearly-expressed political will to prevent the spread of abuse in this area, as well as long-term and permanent preventive and repressive measures. The importance of economic development, the complexity of relationships within an organisation and its management, and the operation of an economy in transition oblige all of us to devote special attention to these issues; in this article, we have tried to contribute to this process.
