The announcement of the full text of the verdict often takes a long time and does not create any additional opportunities for judicial protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the parties. Other sentences have to be read out for several days.

Moreover, the participants in the trial have to listen to the verdict standing up. Standing on your feet for two or three days to find out if you are guilty or not and how long you will be sitting is a separate test.

The reasoning part sets out the details and explains in detail exactly why the person was found guilty. Accordingly, in order to appeal the verdict, it is necessary to study the reasoning part.

Therefore, the participants in the trial should certainly be able to get their hands on the full text of the verdict in a timely manner.

Other amendments to the CPC expand the use of electronic technologies in criminal proceedings. According to experts, the CPC had previously provided for the use of video conferencing systems and electronic documents in criminal proceedings. But there were limitations.

The innovation provides for the possibility of video participation in a court hearing of any instance for all participants in criminal proceedings: the defendant, the convicted person, their representatives, the witness, the victim, the civil plaintiff and the defendant, the expert, the specialist, the prosecutor. So, let's say a victim from another city doesn't have to come to the appeal.
