The right to privacy represents one of the fundamental human rights of individuals in a democratic society. There are numerous international and regional instruments that guarantee the right to privacy. States are obligated to ensure unhindered enjoyment of this right to their population. Today, one of the greatest challenges of the right to privacy is special measures of secret data collection available to certain actors within the security-intelligence system and other state actors in the performance of their duties within their jurisdiction. It should be noted that the right to privacy is not absolute, and the law specifies how it can be limited. In the Republic of Serbia, derogation of the right to privacy is the subject of certain laws, especially those regulating the functioning of the security-intelligence system. Therefore, the paper analyzes the normative framework regulating special measures of secret data collection available to various actors within the security-intelligence system. Additionally, the analysis will encompass the normative provisions regulating the control of special measures of secret data collection. The paper aims to examine the negative impact of the implementation of special measures on the right to privacy, as well as the possibility of improving the current normative framework existing in the Republic of Serbia.
