5. MAIN PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
5.1. Problems
1. Due to a large number of institutional and legislative frameworks, there is a distinct
problem with surveillance coordination and oversight. A problem caused by the
diversity and discord between some legislative arrangements has also been
identified;
2. Another problem observed (and analysis proved it to be a consequence of the
previous problem) is delayed exchange of information such as fresh intelligence,
experience, good practice, new forms of crime associated with terrorism and even
specific situations connected with terrorist activities;
3. Inadequate education in the areas of counterterrorism and a low rate of specialized
training;
4. Inadequate single analytic approach to the fight against terrorism;

and the Joint Committee for Defense and Security of the BiH Parliamentary
Assembly, authorities responsible to lay down the fundamental political platform
with a definition of future political challenges and clearly formulated objectives;
6. Absence of a body that would provide monitoring and oversight over the
implementation of the strategic goals and Action Plans of the institutions;
