Special approach towards minors in criminal proceedings

Criminal proceedings against minors differ from regular proceedings against adults. The sensitivity of young people requires a special and cautious approach, aimed at correcting behavior while avoiding negative consequences for their development. Special criminal sanctions are applied to minors.

Juveniles in the proceedings must have a defense attorney from the first hearing until the end of the proceedings. This defense attorney may only be a lawyer who possesses expert knowledge in the field of child rights and juvenile delinquency.

Attorney Nemanja Erdeljan holds a certificate for working with minors and applies his professional competencies in all phases of the procedure.
