Abstract

The planned goals and standards of the EU's digital transformation in the current decade are comprehensive and imply a major technological transformation accompanied by a profound cultural change, which should confirm and further improve the fundamental values of the European space. The digital transformation of the EU judiciary implies a structural reform of national judicial systems in order to increase their capacities to work on the Internet while respecting all legal guarantees, as well as to improve cross-border judicial cooperation of competent authorities at the Union level. The paper presents the basic characteristics of the planned European digital transformation until 2030, with special emphasis on the advantages and possible problems of digitalization of criminal justice, both in cross-border cooperation and in the application of digital tools in criminal proceedings. The paper aims to point out the process of setting EU standards in the field of digitalization, knowledge of which is very important for the development of the domestic judicial system, since it is not only about meeting European standards in concrete area, but timely inclusion in the current (fourth) industrial revolution.
