Video surveillance in business and judicial practice: legality of implementation, data protection, and admissibility of evidence

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the legal framework governing video surveillance at workplaces within Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the prerequisites for its lawful implementation, procedural steps, data retention policies, and employee rights. The analysis is primarily based on the new Law on Personal Data Protection of 2025 (specifically Article 57), alongside the fundamental principles of legitimate interest, necessity, and proportionality, incorporating relevant administrative and judicial practice. Special emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of utilizing video recordings as evidence in criminal proceedings, as well as in civil and labor disputes. The objective of the paper is to highlight the legal modalities for balancing workplace security and the protection of employer property with the employees' right to privacy. The paper concludes that video surveillance remains a permissible measure only when implemented with absolute transparency, strict data minimization, and unwavering respect for employee dignity.
