Abstract

Despite the fact that the Law on Juvenile Offenders and Criminal Protection of Juveniles at the time of its adoption represented an important step towards introducing and reviving the principles of child-friendly justice in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia, its application, as well as the lack of necessary, continuous improvement based on the practice observed problems in implementation, but also harmonization with other relevant laws, and primarily with the new Code of Criminal Procedure, support the conclusion that in this important work has been stopped half way. Bearing this in mind, the author analyzes the challenges faced by Serbian lawmakers and the judiciary in the context of improving the position of child victims in criminal proceedings in the framework of compliance with relevant international standards and benchmarks for progress in the process of accession negotiations with the EU.
