COMMISSIONER
FOR INFORMATION OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

PoverenikCommissioner Milan Marinović, Deputy Commissioner Sanja Unković, and Acting Assistant Secretary-General in the Sector for Complaints and Enforcement in the field of Access to Information, Slavoljupka Pavlović, are currently participating in the Third International Conference "Initiative 2020" in Struga, North Macedonia. Besides them, the participants in this Conference are representatives of authorities engaged in the protection of the right to free access to information of public importance from the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

All participants agreed that the future of the realization of this right lies not in a restrictive but in a proactive approach to the achievement of greater information about the work of authorities through increasing its visibility by publishing more information about their work.

Also, it was concluded that the countries from these areas that have not yet done so should ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Access to Official Documents (the so-called "Tromso Convention") as soon as possible as the first and most important international document in the field of access to information of public importance.
