The Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (2007) was ratified and thus incorporated into the Serbian legal system in 2010, which entailed the obligation to regulate this matter in greater detail by introducing specific measures aimed at preventing this type of criminal activity. This aim was accomplished by adopting the Act on Special Measures for Preventing the Commission of Sex Crimes against Minors (2013). This paper explores the aforementioned special measures for preventing sexual abuse of children, with particular reference to some controversial and disputable issues.
