This paper gives an overview of the organizational positioning of forensic laboratories in the countries of Europe with a particular emphasis on the countries of the Western Balkans. This is because the region of the Western Balkans is relatively small in size and has a large number of countries, almost in all of which forensic laboratories are organized. As you can see from the paper, most forensic laboratories are organized in the interior ministries, that is in the police. Since this way of organizing the fulfilment of tasks on proving evidence in solving crimes causes procedural harassment, the very conclusion of the work is to give a proposal for their permission, which refers to the accreditation of forensic laboratories.
