Belgrade, May 29, 2025

 

Due to great interest and the previous training held in April, where the number of registered participants exceeded the capacity of the hall, a training was held again in the Great Hall of the Misdemeanor Court in Belgrade on Thursday, May 29, 2025, custom-made for Information Officers on the topic - Free Access to Information of Public Importance, Legislation and Practice.

The training was held by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, Milan Marinović, and the Acting Assistant to the Secretary General - Sector for Complaints and Enforcement in the Field of Access to Information of Public Importance, Slavoljupka Pavlović. This training, which aims to familiarize Information Officers with the current legal solutions in the Republic of Serbia and to train them for the proper implementation of the Law, was carried out as part of the Commissioner's further efforts to bring the area of ​​access to information of public importance closer to the widest possible circle of persons from state authorities and the judiciary in the city of Belgrade. Special attention was paid to the increasingly evident abuse of the right to access information of public importance and measures to overcome this problem.

The training was again attended by around 80 Information Officers from various public authorities.

In the coming period, due to great interest, the Commissioner's Office plans to hold more training courses tailored for Information Officers within the Commissioner's capacities and capabilities.
