Abstract The redesign of data protection in the police and judicial area is intended to create uniformity at the European level for the citizens of EU Member States. This scientific article analyses the subject of data protection in law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The focus is primarily on the existing provisions and the latest developments of the EU with regard to Directive (EU) 2016/680 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA.

The new European framework for the protection of personal data on freedom, security and justice is embodied, among other instruments, in EU Directive 2016/680 on the protection of natural persons with regards to the processing of personal data by competent authorities for criminal law purposes. This Directive protects fundamental rights, such as the right to the protection of personal data, as well as ensuring a high level of public security by facilitating the exchange of personal data between competent authorities within the Union, with the establishment of a legal system on the transfer of personal data.

In January 2014 two years passed since the European Commission presented a package of reforms of the system of personal data protection in the EU. Com‑ mission proposed to create, in its opinion, a uniform and consistent system across the EU. The idea of the paper is to answer the question whether the Commission’s proposal to adopt two separate acts (one as a general system, and the second for cooperation in criminal matters and police), should meet the proposed assumptions. In order to analyze that, first the treaty background is presented, then current legal status in the field of personal data in the EU, and finally a comparative analysis of the solutions of the two drafts. The analysis leads to the conclusion that there are serious concerns about the lack of consistency.

The processing of personal data is regulated by Directive 680/2016 when it is carried out by national security institutions or by law enforcement bodies. The Directive establishes the general framework for exemption from the principles of personal data protection enacted by the GDPR, establishing a restrictive and reasoned temporary derogation, considered indispensable for carrying out activities aimed at ensuring national security or the national judicial system, as well as prevention, detection and combating crime.

The paper focuses on the norms of Serbian Penal Code that incriminates personal data abuse. Starting with a brief overview of personal data legislation in Serbia, the author states that legal protection of data is guaranteed through constitutional (former federal and republic and the current Constitution) and provisions of Data Protection Law (three Laws were adopted and implemented since 1998), but also with criminal law norms. However, the quality and the implementation of mentioned criminal law provisions is questionable. The author analyses different crimes and notes that certain norms are incoherent with other relevant legislative provisions. The author points to incoherent provisions and provides recommendations de lege ferenda, concluding that legislative changes are needed in order to construct a solid legal framework for personal data protection in domestic Criminal law.
