Sažetak
In the past three decades, one can see growing interest in the victim of crime and its position and rights in the criminal procedure. In European Union law, the Framework Decision on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings was adopted in March 2001. It represents the first legally binding instrument adopted on the international level governing this area. Changes in the position and rights of victims in the course of criminal proceedings are also happening in Croatian and Macedonian laws on criminal procedure. These changes are primarily explained by the need to align national laws with international and European standards. In the paper, the author analyses the degree of alignment of Croatian and Macedonian law with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice which interprets the provisions of the Framework Decision on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings.
