Summary/Abstract: Rehabilitation consists in abolishing the legal consequences of a conviction and erasing the conviction so that the convicted person is considered unconvicted. With the onset of rehabilitation, the legal consequences of the conviction cease to apply and the convicted person acquires all the rights that other citizens have. His crime is forgotten, and his name is erased from the criminal record. The official documents do not mention that he was convicted. This is how a fiction is created about the innocence of a convicted person with the aim of equalizing him with other members of society. This means that the “model of full rehabilitation” is accepted in the criminal legislation of the Republic of Serbia, which also provides that the granting of rehabilitation to a certain person does not affect the rights of third parties based on the conviction.
