Abstract

The areas of freedom, security and justice are the norms of primary law and legal acts of secondary law in Europe, which enable the functioning of supranational and national institutions in each particular segment of this field. These norms come from different branches of law, which regulate special relations in the area of freedom, security and justice. Although there is no explicit division into specific areas according to the Lisbon Treaty, the area of freedom, security and justice represents a unified whole set up in the Title of the TFEU, Article 67 of the TFEU lists some of the basic elements that constitute freedom, security and justice. Within this content section, it is appropriate to make a systematisation and division of the area of freedom, security and justice into several subcategories. This will enable a clear, simpler and more systematic insight into the norms and regulations that constitute the overall legal framework of this area. These are the norms and legislation that are interconnected, conditioned and are in active correlation and interaction with other policies at the continent level. In this context we are also considering the case of plead guilty in the Montenegrin legislation, especially in the part of the prescribed imprisonment sentence as a condition for the conclusion of the Plea Agreement in the legislation of Montenegro.

Key words

Legislation, plea agreement, imprisonment, law, freedom, security.
