Abstract

The plea agreement is the Institute of Anglo-American legal system that, in the last thirty years, has a significant place in the criminal procedure legislation of European countries, integrating in that way two different legal systems.

In the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the negotiation of a consensual confession of guilt is treated in Article 231. The agreement can be concluded regardless of the type of crime. This institute is daily accepted to the new European legislation and its application is constantly expanding and modifying. Although it is still the target of much criticism, especially by European and conservative legal experts, it is evident that the introduction of this instrument has achieved visible results.
