Načelo vzajemnega priznavanja deluje kot izhodišče za kazenskopravno urejanje na ravni EU, ki je v zadnjih letih vse bolj obsežno. Avtorici v članku analizirata ustreznost prenosa evropskih dokumentov v slovensko kazensko pravo, pri čemer opozorita na pomembna odprta vprašanja, ki niso formalno razjasnjena niti na evropski, kaj šele na državni ravni. Ob tem kritično vrednotita proces implementacije in opozarjata na nekatere pomanjkljivosti v postopku in predpisih, ki so njegov rezultat. Opozorita tudi na zelo pozitiven odnos prakse do poenostavljenih postopkov mednarodnega sodelovanja, kar daje dodatno težo opozorilom na previdnost in premišljenost v postopkih implementacije.

The principle of mutual recognition is the basis for development of European Criminal Law, an area rapidly spreading in recent years. The analysis of the implementation procedure of European mutual recognition instruments and its outcomes in the Slovenian system of criminal law shows that the question of international cooperation within the EU is developing into a new subset of criminal law. Many issues however remain unanswered, at both the European and national levels and the article argues that the processes of negotiation and implementation could be very much improved. The welcoming attitude practitioners show towards the new concept, which they find efficient and practical, acts as another warning towards a cautious and premeditated implementation process.
