Serbian term or phrase: izviđajni postupak
"u izviđajnom i u istražnom postupku može preduzimati radnje..."

Istražni postupak znam da je investigation/investigative proceedings, ali ne mogu da nađem "izviđajni" a da nije takođe prevedeno kao "investigative"...

Thanks, you got the closest! I was advised by the client for this translation that this expression is quite rare and refers to the initial police enquiries before an official investigation is launched, and that they suggest "preliminary enquiries". So this is not to say that is the definitive, be-all end-all answer, but it is the one which I went with here, as instructed.

Understanding inquest proceeding and how it differs with preliminary investigation may spell the difference between liberty and a night or two behind bars.

The Supreme Court in a 2006 administrative case clarifies that preliminary investigation is a proceeding distinct from an inquest. A preliminary investigation is "an inquiry or proceeding to determine whether there is sufficient ground to engender a well-founded belief that a crime has been committed and the respondent is probably guilty thereof, and should be held for trial."

An inquest is "a summary inquiry conducted by a prosecutor for the purpose of determining whether the warrantless arrest of a person was based on probable cause."
