Summary/Abstract: The content of this paper consists of two sets of issues. The first set includes general remarks in which the author analyses criminal and political grounds for the justification of the eventuality of the video-link utilization in the criminal proceedings and provides the outline of the key international legal documents dealing with the aforementioned matter. The main inference regarding the analysis of this set of issues is full criminal and political justification of the eventuality of the video-link use in the criminal proceedings. The second group of issues deals with the critical and expert analysis of the norms in the positive criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Serbia concerning the eventuality of the video-link use in the criminal proceedings and the authors view on the justification of the further expansion of its application scope in the criminal procedure legislation in general, and thus, in the criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Serbia — as well as the manner of regulating a significant number of technical issues of its use as one of the prerequisites for the credibility of the evidentiary actions taken through the use of the video-link. The last part of the paper provides final observation in which the author succinctly presents the key results obtained while examining the subject matter.
