Summary/Abstract: The concept of citizen's arrest in Serbian law lacks clear regulation and precise conditions for application, leading to legal ambiguities and potential misuse. The current legal framework allows any person to arrest someone caught in the act of committing a crime prosecuted ex officio, but it does not specify the limits of force or the arrestor’s legal awareness, which creates risks for human rights violations. Comparative analysis shows regional variations in terminology and regulation, with some neighboring countries not recognizing the concept at all, emphasizing the need for clearer legal definitions and proportionality in practice.
