Abstract

The article analyses a special procedure for interrogating minor witnesses in criminal proceedings. there are two interrogation methods referred to in Art. 185b of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This provision was amended by the Act of 13 June 2013, as a result of which several essential elements of this regulation underwent modification. Certain objections are aroused by the current shape of this regulation, though eventually it deserves positive assessment as it has been aimed at strengthening protection of minor witnesses who are not victims.
