Institution of the Commissioner marked the International Right to Know Day, September 28, 2021
"This day is marked in anticipation of the adoption of the Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance, which should lead to easier, greater and more efficient exercise of this right," said Commissioner Milan Marinovic on the occasion of the International Right to Know Day.
By adopting these amendments to the law, the institution of the Commissioner would have the right to request from any authority in Serbia access to information and request the submission of all documents which would determine if there were any violations. Also, the "administrative silence " on the submitted request for free access to information of public importance would be sanctioned by the Commissioner by imposing a fixed amount fine.
