The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection estimates that issues in the field of personal data protection require a significantly more active approach of public authorities, especially the Government. Stressing that further basically ignorant attitude towards the issues in the field is surely to have serious adverse effects on the process of EU integrations, and notwithstanding, and which is more important, on the human rights guaranteed under the Constitution and the law, the Commissioner, Rodoljub Sabic has stated the following:

On the occasion of closure of the EU Twinning light project "Improvement of Personal Data Protection" the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia, the EU Delegation to the Republic of Serbia and the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia organize on 7 December 2012 a formal event „Personal data protection in Serbia".

The aim of the EU Twinning light project "Improvement of Personal Data Protection", funded by the European Union with 250.000 € and implemented by the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia, was to contribute to the personal data protection in the Republic of Serbia in line with the EU standards. The project focused on several priority fields, among others on the sector of electronic communications, the sector of internal affairs and the sector of health, which were identified as the topical sectors in the up-to-date state of play in data protection. At the closing event, the representatives of both Commissioners will together with the representatives of the personal data controllers from all the three sectors discuss the data protection issues and challenges of interest both to the individuals as well as to the controllers of personal data in the Republic of Serbia.

Rodoljub Sabic, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection and Sasa Jankovic, the Ombudsman, appealed today to implement the measures proposed four month ago in the shortest time possible. These measures reduce the possibility of abuse in surveillance of electronic – telephone and internet communications.
