Mere borbe sa covid – 19 u svetlu srpskih propisa o suzbijanju epidemija

The subject of the author’s review are four major legal acts passed in April 2020 and the measures they foresee for supressing the COVID-19 epidemics which interfere with constitutionally guaranteed human rights. They are: The decision on declaring the disease COVID-19 inflicted by SARS-CoV-2 virus an infectious disease The Decree on declaring the epidemics of the infectious disease COVID-19, The Decision on declaring the state of emergency, The Decree on measures taken during the state of emergency. The goal of the author’s analysis is to determine whether these acts and measures are in accordance with the Constitution, the Law on the protection of population from infectious diseases and other laws which regulate supressing of epidemics. The analysis of each of these four acts are presented as a separate part of the paper. In the conslusion, the author states that generally all these acts that Serbia passed to combat COVID–19 virus were legally based, with the note that the justification for introducing this scope of restrictive measures legal professionals could not formulate independently, but only in cooperation with medical professionals.
