PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING BY THE POLICE IN SERBIA: ASSESSING COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTITUTIONAL, ECHR AND EU LAW STANDARDS
PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING BY THE POLICE IN SERBIA: ASSESSING COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTITUTIONAL, ECHR AND EU LAW STANDARDS

Summary/Abstract: The protection of natural persons regarding the processing of their personal data is a fundamental human right recognised in international and national law. Data protection principles and rules should be respected even when personal data is processed by law enforcement agencies. For the interpretation of this constitutionally guaranteed right, the standards from the case law of the European Court of Human Rights on data protection under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights are relevant. In addition, the harmonisation of national legislation with EU rules on personal data processing for law enforcement purposes also serves to protect this right. The author analyses the domestic legal framework for data processing by the police, in order to establish whether and to what extent the national legal system has achieved compliance with the constitutional guarantee of the right to data protection, ECtHR standards and EU acquis.
