Abstract: In the focus of this paper is the analysis of the relationship between the primary and auxiliary subject of the criminal procedure – prosecutor and expert witnesses in context of the B&H’s criminal procedural laws with aim of presentation of limitations of the prosecutor’s evaluation of facts that are obtained through application of scientific and expert knowledge. Furthermore, authors explore the perception of the forensic expertise in theory and judicial practice as a possible deviation from the fundamental legal principle of free evaluation of evidence, resulting with establishment of the forensic expertise as evidence of utmost evidentiary value and strength that is rarely disregarded by the prosecutor and the court.

Keywords: expert witness; forensic expertise; prosecutorial evaluation of evidence.
