Abstract
The article is devoted to the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions and overcoming conflicts of criminal jurisdiction of the EU member states. The union was created in 1977 and the states got together to overcome economic and other important issues of development. Moreover, the growth of terrorism clearly showed that the internal security of the EU member states should be ensured not only through measures taken at the national level. Certainly the existing diversity of legal systems of the EU countries, together with the European guarantees of freedom of movement, have inevitably led to a clash and conflict of criminal jurisdiction of the EU member states. The author analyses the steps and documents of the process of implementing the internal security (the Green Paper on Conflicts of Jurisdiction and the Principle of ne bis in idem in Criminal Proceedings, agreements and protocols) and also the latest tools for mutual recognition.
