Summary/Abstract: The use of facial recognition technology is a very current topic that raises issues of human rights protection in this process. In the paper, after the introduction, the authors analyse legal framework in the European Union regarding the use of this technology, which is closely related to the protection of personal data, right to privacy and artificial intelligence, and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, thereafter. The Serbian legal approach related to this issue is presented in a separate chapter. Finally, considering that the use of facial recognition technology in Serbia has no legal basis, in the concluding remarks the authors indicate in which direction Serbian legislator should act, in order to meet the established standards of human rights protection. Methods characteristic of social sciences - normative, positive law, comparative and case law analysis - are used in the paper.
