Apstrakt: This article constitutes a continuation of the analysis initiated in the first part of the study “EncroChat, Sky ECC and Regulation (EU) 2023/1543: Towards a New Standard of Digital Evidence (I)”. The first part of this study examined the emergence of EncroChat and Sky ECC evidence in European criminal proceedings, focusing on the factual background of the Sky ECC investigations, the role of AI-assisted investigative techniques, the operation of mutual recognition mechanisms, and the evolving jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, particularly the case M.N. v. France. It further analysed the challenges of the existing legal framework and the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 on electronic evidence (Turanjanin, 2025).
