Abstract:
Along with the development of information technologies, the issue of legal
regulations that can prevent and sanction cybercrime has gained worldwide
significance. EU’s regulatory framework for electronic communications, networks
and services is a basis for the national laws of all EU member states. The
Council of Europe was one of the first international organisations to put forward
an initiative for building up legal presumptions to restrain cybercrime with a
joint effort of several countries. The Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia
regulated the criminal offences regarding violation of computer data security,
thus clearly contributing to a more efficient fight against cybercrime. Still, this
regulatory framework did not fully embrace the deviant forms of behaviour
manifested as misuse of computer technologies and computer systems (e.g.
Internet harassment, unauthorised alteration of the contents published on the
Internet, etc.). Also, the issue of jurisdiction regarding the criminal prosecution
of the perpetrators of these crimes still remains unresolved being that
most of such offences have an international character. As Serbia signed and
ratified the Convention on Cybercrime CETS No. 185 in 2009, the Criminal
Code of the Republic of Serbia should recognise as criminal offences numerous
deviant forms of behaviour (Internet harassment, unlawful interception,
Internet frauds, etc.) and establish sanctions for the offenders.
