This article examines the challenges of exercising the procedural rights of the prosecution and defense, taking into account the application of procedural security measures to individuals with whom a pre-trial cooperation agreement has been concluded, under conditions of adversarial proceedings and equality of arms. The author analyzes the challenges of implementing certain procedural measures to ensure the safety of suspects or defendants with whom a pre-trial cooperation agreement has been concluded, taking into account the discrepancy between the provisions of current criminal procedure legislation regarding the defense's right to an equal and adversarial trial and the prosecution's right to the personal safety of the cooperating party and confidential participation in the trial. The author draws attention to the importance of maintaining confidentiality with respect to individuals who have entered into a pre-trial cooperation agreement as a guarantee of the functioning of this procedural institution and its effectiveness during the preliminary investigation and court hearing.
