In fact, the author pays special attention to the case of Boljević v. Serbia , in which the applicant, a Serbian citizen, alleged that his right to respect for private and family life had been violated as a result of the refusal of the Serbian national courts to reopen paternity proceedings, in which the applicant intended to prove, through DNA testing, that Mr. A was his biological father. It has to be mentioned that in this case in the 1970s the Serbian national courts issued final decision according to which Mr. A was not recognized as the applicant's biological father, and the applicant indicated that at that time it was impossible to carry out DNA test and he did not know about the existence of such decision (during the proceedings, the applicant was represented by a lawyer appointed by local authorities, since he was a minor), and that now there is such a possibility. In this connection, the applicant argued that the denial to satisfy his claims on procedural basis by the domestic courts violated his right to family and private life. The ECtHR ruled that Art. 8 of the Convention has been violated. In that case, the issues of compliance with a balance of private and public interests were dealt with (the interests of the applicant to establish his biological father identity and the interests of the state in maintaining legal certainty).</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Рассматривается практика Европейского суда по правам человека по некоторым делам, связанным с применением достижений биомедицины в свете реализации прав и свобод человека, предусмотренных Европейской конвенцией прав человека и протоколами к ней. В частности, дело Boljević v. Serbia, в котором заявитель, гражданин Сербии, утверждал, что его право на уважение частной и семейной жизни было нарушено в результате отказа национальных судов Сербии в возобновлении судебного разбирательства по установлению отцовства. Заявитель хотел доказать, путем проведения анализа ДНК, что гражданин А. являлся его биологическим отцом. Отметим, что по данному делу в 1970-х годах национальный суд принял решение, согласно которому гражданин А. не был признан отцом заявителя, а последний указал, что в то время невозможно было проводить анализ ДНК и он не знал о существовании такого решения суда (в процессе по данному делу заявитель был представлен опекуном, так как он был несовершеннолетним), и что теперь есть такая возможность. В связи с этим заявитель утверждал, что отказ в удовлетворении его требований со стороны национальных судов, указывающих на истечение срока исковой давности, является нарушением его права на семейную и личную жизнь. ЕСПЧ постановил, что имело место нарушение ст. 8 Конвенции. В данном деле решаются вопросы о соблюдении баланса частных и публичных интересов (интересы заявителя по установлению личности своего отца и интересы государства в сохранении правовой определенности).</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>European Court of Human Rights</kwd><kwd>European Convention on Human Rights</kwd><kwd>DNA analysis</kwd><kwd>right to private and family life</kwd><kwd>paternity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Европейский суд по правам человека</kwd><kwd>Европейская конвенция прав человека</kwd><kwd>анализ ДНК</kwd><kwd>право на частную и семейную жизнь</kwd><kwd>отцовство</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This paper has been supported by the RUDN University Strategic Academic Program.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Публикация выполнена при поддержке Программы стратегического академического лидерства РУДН.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bévière-Boyer, B. &amp; Bouffard, C.
