Abstract

The right to privacy is closely interrelated with the right to human dignity. It is declared in numerous international legal documents, including those of the European Union. The intrusion of the right to privacy in the favor of public interests is particularly noticeable in the cases where personal data is processed by competent authorities such as the police and judicial bodies. European Union adopted the so-called Police Directive in 2016, the aim of which is to maintain a balance between the interest of crime prevention and security protection and the right to privacy in the sense of personal data protection. After defining privacy and its interrelation with the right to human dignity, the author analyzes the provisions of Police Directive, the relation between Police Directive and some other relevant sources of acquis, the significance of its provisions for Serbia and, finally, offers suggestions and recommendations for its more efficient application in the future.
