Sažetak

The aim of this paper is to point to the presence of paternalism and disrespect of the principle of autonomy in the current Serbian legal framework regarding euthanasia. Besides that, it is demonstrated that Serbian statutory provision, according to which euthanasia or mercy killing is a criminal offence, represents neglect and violation of the rights of terminally ill patients. Likewise, it is pointed to other omissions of the present legislation and new, i.e. enhanced regulation of this issue is advocated.
