Significant Amendments to the Slovenian Criminal Procedure Code brought by the Novelty ZKP-N

Act Amending the Criminal Procedure Act (ZKP-N), which entered into force on 20 April 2019, does not significantly interfere with the existing system of criminal procedure. Its main purpose is to provide adequate protection of the rights of victims of crime, as provided for in the Victims’ Rights Directive, but also contains other important solutions related to the transfer of decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as some other solutions.
