The material and methods used during the preparation of this publication included an expert survey that was used to obtain all the necessary data for the research. The comparative and logical methods were used for the analysis and description of regulations, court decisions, scientific literature and expert opinions. Methods of interpretation of legal norms have also been used in this research. The specific nature of special investigative activities creates both legal and practical challenges, which can be overcome when conducting criminal proceedings so that the information obtained by the control of means of communication during the special investigative activities can be used as legal evidence during criminal proceedings.
