The author in his article analyses person’s rights to finalization of criminal proceedings within a reasonable period of time in case of criminal proceedings against several persons. In analysis the author provides an overview of legislation, regarding finalization of criminal proceedings within a reasonable period of time, reflects conclusions made, regarding the initial and final point of criminal proceedings within a reasonable period of time, provides a description of judicature, regarding finalization of criminal proceedings against several persons and points to the problems related to finalization of criminal proceedings against several persons within a reasonable period of time. In the end author concludes that as soon as there are few persons involved in criminal proceeding, who have right to defense, the provisions of Law on Criminal Proceedings become ineffective and constitute a menace to person’s rights to finalization of criminal proceedings within a reasonable period of time.
