EVIDENCES AND THE NEW CRIMINAL PROCEDURAL CODE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA.

The authors in this work deal with particular questions of the complex issues of proving in the criminal procedure, according to the new Criminal Procedural Code of the Republic of Serbia. Namely, Serbia was adopted a new CPC in 2011, which entered into force in 2013. The main novelty that brings this legal text is moving from the concept of judicial investigation to prosecutorial investigation. However, it brings some changes in the field of proving. Since the area of proving is extremely tight, the authors pay attention to the specific changes in the already standard sphere of proving, while they emphasize completely new solutions. Among them, particularly stand out certain types of expertise and taking of samples. Taking of samples was not, regulated in the Serbian legislation before. Now, the legislator regulates three types of this form: taking biometric samples, taking samples of biological origin and taking samples for forensic-genetic analysis. After the main part of the work, the authors give final, concluding and critical remarks on the new solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
