Abstract
Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) is a new aspect in Serbia's foreign relations. So far a SOFA has been signed by and between Serbia and the United States of America (USA), but this type of agreements will certainly be of importance in future relations with NATO and the European Union. They address the status of foreign military troops while temporary present in a foreign country. Presently, SOFAs are one of the most significant and most utilized instruments in America’s foreign security policy. The most important issue that these agreements address is the distribution of criminal jurisdiction over U.S. personnel between the host country and the USA, and, this is exactly what a part of the agreement signed by and between USA and Serbia refers to. In addition to explaining the SOFA in general, the paper analyzes the agreement with Serbia which departs from the previous US common practice when entering into the status of forces agreements.
Sažetak
Sporazumi o statusu snaga (Status of Forces Agreement - SOFA) novina su u spoljnim odnosima Srbije. Za sada je SOFA zaključen između Srbije i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, ali je izvesno da će ta vrsta sporazuma biti značajna u budućim odnosima s NATO-om i Evropskom unijom. Njima se reguliše status stranih vojnih trupa tokom privremenog boravka na teritoriji određene države i danas su jedan od najznačajnijih i najviše korišćenih instrumenata američke spoljne bezbednosne politike. Najvažnije pitanje koje se tim sporazumima reguliše jeste raspodela krivične nadležnosti nad američkim trupama između države domaćina i SAD, i upravo se na to odnosi deo sporazuma potpisanog između SAD i Srbije. U radu je, osim objašnjenja SOFA uopšte, analiziran sporazum sa Srbijom u kojem je odstupljeno od uobičajene prakse SAD pri zaključenju sporazuma o statusu snaga.
