Abstract
In recent years, a series of terrorist attacks have been carried out on European soil against state institutions, diplomats, foreign armed forces and civilians. With the new security challenges, there is a need for strong intelligence services, which will function in every aspect of the threats and will use all human and technical capacities. However, the use of these capacities as well as the results that will arise will depend on their operational capabilities. This means that human resources will have to be upgraded and directed deep into the root of this type of hybrid threat. If previously it was thought that the front of terrorist organizations is in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., now the front has moved to Western European capitals and the United States. The ideology under which these attacks were carried out, defined as terrorist, is the driving force behind the emergence of hybrid threats. After facing such phenomena, the need to study them and obtain as much information as possible that will help for prevention in the future is inevitable. Intelligence with all its disciplines is central to the modern world, which faces hybrid and unconventional wars. Today in the age of modern and highly sophisticated technology, the importance of information is crucial in the fight against these phenomena. By changing the trends of warfare, the trends of intelligence are also changing. But the purpose and principles of intelligence always remain the same. At the global level, an important factor in dealing with terrorism is the coordination and cooperation of related and partner services that have information obtained with the help of intelligence disciplines, and mostly through intelligence with human sources - HUMINT. Human intelligence (HUMINT) is defined as any information that can be gathered from human sources. Intelligence operations using human sources are extremely complex and risky and therefore require prior detailed preparation based on established rules and procedures. Any deviation in the work of the intelligence services from the concept of dealing with these threats, will contribute to reducing the success of prevention and elimination of threats. HUMINT is an imperative for successfully dealing with modern terrorist organizations and their influence in the world. Detailed planning and coordinated action of the intelligence services, through cooperation, dissemination and exchange of information, is necessary to deal with the emergence of modern hybrid threats. HUMINT is a crucial element in the process of preventing and dealing with terrorism, and its successful implementation will reduce or completely neutralize terrorist threats.
