Summary/Abstract: The Republic of Serbia has prescribed domestic violence as a separate criminal offence according to the adopted international standards, which are a part of numerous documents of universal and regional international organisations (Council of Europe, European Union), by adopting the new criminal regulation in 2005 and it’s updating in 2009 and 2016. This respectively means that the Republic of Serbia by providing criminal responsibility and punishing ability for the most severe forms of violence and a system of prevention measures among relatives, has approached in this way numerous other legal and social systems. The paper analyses the international standards of system prevention measures against domestic violence of the European regional organisations and their implementation in the criminal legislation of Serbia.
