Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the right of reply as one of the rare tools that allows an individual direct access to media. It will present the scope of the right of reply from historical point of view to the contemporary regulatory framework; its understanding and protection in the European Union Member States, the Council of Europe countries and the current legal framework in the Republic of Serbia and its harmonization with the European legacy. Various applications of the right of reply will be further examined, such as its existence during the election campaign, in combating ,,hate speech", or the implementation of right of reply by media. The expected impact of the paper is the higher awareness raising of the importance of the right to right of reply as well as contribution to academic and professional debate on this issue, as the literature on this topic is very limited.
