Role and training of the Serbian armed forces' members in escort

Abstract

Through history, many important persons were, on one hand, objects of recognition, and even fanatical worship, and on the other hand, objects of refutation to even pathological intolerance. With the development of the society, 'cult of personality' began ever more to fade, and 'untouchability' was becoming ever weaker. These persons ever more often became targets of their non-followers, which sometimes resulted in physical liquidation. A need for protecting such persons, currently called 'certain persons', emerged when the threats to their lives intensified. The security assignments were entrusted to the most loyal and most capable people from immediate environment of the person to be protected. In this connection, the paper presents a general summary of security duties with a special overview of the history, general notions, and types of escort.

Kroz istoriju su mnoge istaknute ličnosti, s jedne strane bile predmet uvažavanja, pa čak i fanatičnog obožavanja, a s druge strane predmet osporavanja do čak patološke netrpeljivosti. Sa razvojem društva 'kult ličnosti' je sve više počeo da bledi a 'nedodirljivost' je postajala sve slabija. Takve ličnosti su sve češće postajale mete napada svojih neistomišljenika koji su ponekad rezultirali i fizičkom likvidacijom. Potreba za zaštitom takvih ličnosti, koje danas nazivamo 'određenim ličnostima', javila se sa intenziviranjem ugrožavanja njihovih života. Zadaci obezbeđenja poveravani su najodanijim i najsposobnijim ljudima koji su bili u neposrednom okruženju štićene ličnosti. S tim u vezi, u radu je dat generalni pregled poslova obezbeđenja sa posebnim osvrtom na istorijat, opšte pojmove i vrste obezbeđenja.
