The connection between terrorist organizations and the drug mafia on a global level has a destructive effect on the national security of every democratic state, and therefore on the national security of the Republic of Serbia. The work is proof of the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship between drug addiction and narco-terrorism, where the illegal production and abuse of psychoactive drugs in themselves represent narco-terrorism and a crime against humanity, while the realized drug capital finances terrorism throughout the world. The fight against the bearers of terrorist and narco-terrorist organizations should be a permanent and priority task of every state, and thus also of the Republic of Serbia. The countries of the modern world have recognized this harmful influence, about the existence of these mutual ties that directly affect the national security of the country and the normal functioning of society, and also the security at the global level.
