In the criminal procedural law of the Republic of Serbia, and thus in its criminal procedure legislation, special attention is paid to measures ensuring the presence of the defendant in criminal proceedings. One of the reasons for such treatment of this issue is the fact that the presence of the defendant in the criminal procedure is obligatory. For the purpose of practical implementation of this standard, the Criminal Procedure Code of the RS (hereinafter referred to as CPC of RS) also provides for measures to ensure the presence of the defendant
234 in criminal proceedings. One of the seven foreseen measures is bail.
