After an inspection conducted in connection with the disclosure by the media of personal data contained in the official tax documentation of citizen T.R., the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection filed a criminal report with the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade against an unidentified individual at the Tax Administration within the Ministry of Finance for the criminal offence referred to in Article 146 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code.

The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection has issued the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a Warning about irregularities in the processing of personal data of participants in the driver education process (learner drivers, lecturers, examiners and instructors), which render such personal data processing contrary to the Law on Personal Data Protection and hence inadmissible.

In connection with the 30th of August, the International Day of the Disappeared, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection notes that, even after 20 years since the end of the armed conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and 15 years after the end of the armed conflict in Kosovo and Metohia, we still do not have reliable information on the destiny of almost 11,000 persons in the territory of former Yugoslavia.

In connection with the identified inadmissible personal data processing done pursuant to the Instructions on Security Clearance Checks contained in the National Aviation Security Programme passed by the Serbian Government, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection has sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Serbia.

While fully acknowledging the importance of aviation security, the Commissioner felt it was opportune to point to the effects of undermining legal certainty and violating constitutional guarantees which stem from this document, as the "system" put in place pursuant to it is absolutely inconsistent with explicit constitutional provisions.
