- Abstract
Intelligence and intelligence cooperation are increasingly gaining importance within the framework of the national security-defense strategies, but also within the international community and collective security and defense systems. This is due to changes in the security environment, primarily because of the emergence of new types of security threats, among which the most endangering for world peace and security is the present terrorism with its new features. Terrorism does not have genesis in one state. It is global and necessitates new mechanisms as to be prevented and addressed. Individual countries and their institutions are no longer able to handle it themselves without assistance and cooperation regionally, but also globally. In this regard, intelligence activity is the basic tool in preventive action against possible terrorist activities. The primary goal of the intelligence services is to expose security threats as quickly as possible and make proper assessment of the possible effects of their actions, as well as to propose the most appropriate measures and activities for their prevention and elimination. This means that the emphasis should be placed on the effectiveness of these services in the area of counterterrorism. It also means greater responsibility and proper position and co-operation among the various intelligence elements in a state, as well as among the intelligence agencies from various countries. This paper aims to underscore the significance of the intelligence services, as well as their cooperation and co-ordination in the global fight with the contemporary terrorism as one of the thorny problems of the 21st century. In addition, an attempt has been made to briefly present the current state of this segment in our country as to improve the work and coordination of all entities in the intelligence community of the Republic of Macedonia in case of a security threat.
