Summary/Abstract: The authors consider in work different aspects of criminal proceeding protection of minors in Republic of Serbia and in several European countries. These young people can participate in criminal proceeding on the one hand as witnesses. It usually means that they are also injured but there are situations when that’s not the case. There are set of rules which refer to protection of minors in criminal proceeding when they are injured. Also some new rules which relate to measures of protection of particularly sensitive witnesses was recently adopted. These new rules offer protection for all such witnesses (including minors) regardless of they are injured or not. It is also important to protect minors in criminal proceeding when they are accused because of necessity of regular development of their personality and some special rules are established for that reason in our country. Some states of the former Yugoslavia in a similar way as Serbia regulate the protection of minors in criminal proceedings, such as Croatia and Macedonia. The examples of Germany and France are also given in work. Germany is specific because of the rules which refer to the protection of juvenile offenders, while France has significantly improved the protection of juvenile victims of crime.
