CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND REPORTING IN THE MEDIA
Keywords:
criminal proceedings, the presumption of innocence, the European Court of Human Rights, freedom of expressionAbstract
The public has the right to be informed about the work of the judiciary, and about the outcome and course of the criminal proceedings, especially when it comes to serious crimes, and crimes committed by public figures. Similarly, defendants have rights which must not be violated by inadequate reporting. The balance between timely and complete information for the public and respect for the rights of defendants ought to be achieved, and also freedom of expression with the smooth progress of the criminal proceedings. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the normative framework regulating this area in Serbia, and also to present the practice of the European Court of Human Rights relating to the articles 6 and 10 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The paper concludes with some recommendations for the improvement of the practice in the Republic of Serbia.
