The state of emergency was declared in the Republic of Serbia on 15 March 2020, due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted until 6 May 2020. During the state of emergency, certain human rights
were restricted and suspended, which are otherwise protected and guaranteed by the Constitution. One
of the measures introduced by the state was the possibility for the defendant to attend the main hearing
via Skype. The basic question arises whether the right to a fair trial is violated in this way, since it is one of
the rights that cannot be limited or suspended even during a state of emergency. In this regard, this paper
addresses the national legal framework under which trials are permitted and conducted via Skype during
a state of emergency and relevant case law of the European Court of Human Rights
