The national constitutions, including the Serbian one, usually protect the privacy of individuals by referring to: (1) the inviolability of home; (2) the confidentiality of letters and other means of communication; and (3) the protection of personal data. More extensively defined, the right to privacy may also encompass the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, in the sense that the citizens do not have the obligation to declare their religious or other beliefs. The omnipresence of the Internet, and in particular social networks, search engines and cloud computing, has led to reducing the right to privacy to the right of personal data protection. Indeed, in the digital world, an individual is often reduced to data. Therefore, protecting one's privacy in the digital context means protecting data relating to an identifiable individual. The concept of personal data encompasses not just names, addresses and identification numbers, but also all data that can be traced back to an individual, such as photos, profiles on social networks or browsing history. Typically, social network websites contain user information such as age, relationship status, income, and information about close family members, as well as registered users' addresses.

The mechanisms developed in administrative law are the main tools for personal data protection in modern societies. Within the European integration process, the Republic of Serbia has established an independent data protection authority (DPA) that supervises and ensures the implementation of data protection rules, conducts inspections, acts on complaints of persons to whom the data relates, and determines whether there has been a violation of the law. This paper commences with an analysis of international legal instruments imposing a duty to establish an independent data protection supervisory authority. It goes on to further analyze the main characteristics of the national data protection system, the personal, territorial, and material scope of its application, as well as specific rights of data subjects. The efficient protection of digital privacy primarily depends on the investigative powers of the independent supervisory authority, which are also analyzed in detail. Given the global character of the Internet, the protection of personal data also depends on efficient cooperation among DPAs, the extraterritorial application of data protection rules, and adequate regulation of international transfer of personal data. right to privacy Serbia Internet Data Protection Authority (DPA) personal data European integrations

GIF datoteke najčešće predstavljaju kratke odlomke tuđih autorskih dela, npr. scene iz filmova, muzičkih spotova, televizijskih emisija i dr. Tuđa autorska dela, pa i njihovi odlomci, ne smeju se koristiti bez dozvole nosioca autorskog prava, osim u slučajevima zakonom propisanih ograničenja prava. Stoga je najpre potrebno utvrditi da li se savremeni način korišćenja GIF datoteka može podvesti pod neku od radnji obuhvaćenih imovinskopravnim ovlašćenjima autora, pre svega ovlašćenjem na umnožavanje dela, ovlašćenjem na interaktivno činjenje dela dostupnim javnosti i ovlašćenjem na preradu dela. Povrh toga, u radu se korišćenje formata GIF sagledava i iz ugla ličnopravnog ovlašćenja na zaštitu integriteta dela. Ipak, u određenim slučajevima tuđa autorska dela se mogu koristiti bez dozvole nosioca autorskog prava na osnovu propisanog ograničenja prava. S tim u vezi, u radu se, u okvirima srpskog autorskog prava, analiziraju ograničenje subjektivnog autorskog prava u svrhu citiranja, ograničenje radi slobodne prerade dela i ograničenje koje se odnosi na korišćenje tuđeg autorskog dela kao nebitnog sastojka. Najzad, u radu se razmatra pitanje stvaranja i korišćenja GIF datoteka koje sadrže odlomke tuđih autorskih dela u kontekstu slobode izražavanja i slobode stvaralaštva, kao Ustavom zaštićenih vrednosti.

In the digital environment, defamatory content can be easily shared and may remain available online for a very long period. At first, anonymous Internet communication was predominantly seen as a value in itself-a mechanism that advances the public debate, protects political dissension, and furthers due process. However, the rapid growth of social networks and digital platforms has transformed the content and tone of online interactions. This paper analyzes online comments that may threaten the reputation of a person from a freedom of speech and within the auspices of European law. These comments typically appear as anonymous statements, signed only with a 'nickname' not allowing for identification of a poster. The European Union has adopted several pieces of legislation that set the legal status of defamatory online comments. The Directive on Electronic Commerce is of utmost importance given that it regulates the dissemination of online content. However, the European approach to defamation cannot be understood unless the European Union's system is combined with that of the European Convention on Human Rights. The European Court of Human Rights' approach towards defamatory online comments is best demonstrated in its decision on Delfi v. Estonia and MTE v. Hungary.

Ostavljajući to načelno pitanje po strani, u radu se analizira institut iscrpljenja autorskog prava na digitalnim (bestelesnim) primercima autorskih dela, u okviru prava Evropske unije. Povod za pisanje rada bila je prošlogodišnja presuda Suda pravde Evropske unije doneta u predmetu Tom Kabinet. U radu se podrobno analizira ova presuda, u kojoj je Sud pojasnio da li se institut iscrpljenja ovlašćenja na saopštavanje javnosti dela primenjuje u odnosu na digitalne (bestelesne) primerke knjiga. Stavovi Suda pravde EU se potom upoređuju sa presudom donetom u predmetu UsedSoft, u kojoj se pitanje iscrpljenja ovlašćenja na stavljanje primerka dela u promet razmatra u odnosu na bestelesne primerke softvera. Pomenute presude razmatraju institut iscrpljenja autorskog prava na digitalnim primercima dela na osnovu odredaba različitih direktiva Evropske unije. Dok u predmetu Tom Kabinet Sud tumači odredbe Direktive EU o informacionom društvu, u predmetu UsedSoft tumačene su odredbe Direktive EU o računarskim programima. U zaključnom delu rada, autor postavlja pitanje konzistentnosti ovakve sudske prakse, kao i njenih posledica po pravnu sigurnost učesnika koji posluju na tržištu Evropske unije.
