Elektronske komunikacione usluge kroz praksu suda pravde

Abstract

The Council of the EU adopted on 4 December 2018 the directive establishing the European Electronic Communications Code concluding updating the EU’s rules for telecom/electronic communication services. Тhe definition of electronic communication services in the existing EU rules for telecom services only covers traditional telecommunication services (transmission of telephone signals, voice and data and the provision of access to the internet. However, in addition to existing services, the EECC also covers OTT services. Members states shall transpose this Directive into national law by 21 December 2020. Specific rules on privacy for the electronic communications sector, such as limiting the use of traffic and location data and prohibiting listening to communications, establishes The ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58). In addition to traditional telecom providers, since 21 December 2020 the obligations of the current ePrivacy Directive will apply to instant messaging applications, email, internet phone calls and personal messaging provided through social media — collectively, OTT services. Law on Electronic Communications in the Republic of Serbia does not regulate OTT services. Namely, at the time of passing this Law, OTT services were not qualified as a separate category of services. Since there are already ISPs operating in Serbia, there is certainly a need to regulate, above all, OTT media content services.
