Summary/Abstract: The Author in her article deals with the topic of particularly vulnerable victims of criminal acts. This topic is approached from several angles: from the point of view of theory, defining the concept of particularly vulnerable victims, then, by presenting the international standards achieved in this area, and finally, by analyzing the current regulations in the Republic of Serbia with reference to the proposed amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure given in the Draft, which refer to particularly vulnerable victims. In the end, the Author gives a critical review of the existing legislation with a proposal de lege ferenda in this area, emphasizing the conceptual problem of introducing the concept of victim into the law of the Republic of Serbia, where traditionally the term „injured party“ is used in criminal proceedings.
