Ensurance of the presence of minors in criminal proceedings

In this paper the author gives the review of the specificities of juvenile criminal proceedings concerning the application of repressive measures, which are regulated by Law on juvenile perpetrators and criminal and legal protection of the minors, analyses and compares them with the measures of procedural repression in regular criminal proceedings. It also explains to what extend the international standards of the minors are regarded when our positive criminal legislation is concerned with the special regard to deprivation of liberty of the minors. It will be clear that by application of Law on minors a positive shift has been made regarding the regulation of juvenile criminal proceedings so far, and that there is no need for any further significant reforms, among all, ones considering the repressive measures against minors, except some slight amendments which will be pointed out by this paper. New draft Law on minors does not change significantly the application of procedural repressive measure to minors, but nevertheless, the author gives the review of the amendments that have been made, by analysing their necessity and purposefulness.
