Commissioner Milan Marinović and Deputy Commissioner Sanja Unković were on an official visit to the Personal Data Protection Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo from 23 to 26 February 2026.

As part of the visit, they also participated in a meeting of the “Privacy4Balkans” Initiative, which brings together the personal data protection authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. In addition to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, the meeting was attended by: on behalf of BiH: Dr. Dragoljub Reljić, Director of the PDP Agency, Ante Boras, Deputy Director, Željka Vasković, Head of the International Cooperation Sector; on behalf of Montenegro: Maja Žunjić Mitrović, Director of the Agency, Željko Rutović, President of the Agency Council and Zoran Vujićić, Council member; on behalf of North Macedonia: Nakil Fetai, Director of the Agency, Elena Veljanovska, Deputy Director and Valentin Fetadjokoski, State Advisor.

The reason for holding regular meetings of the above-mentioned bodies is the changes to Meta's and the X platform's privacy policies regarding the processing of personal data for the development of artificial intelligence. To more effectively exercise the right to personal data protection of citizens from the above-mentioned countries, representatives of these supervisory bodies decided to act jointly against the above-mentioned companies. Also, especially appreciating the fact that the above-mentioned companies, like some others, have not designated a representative for personal data protection in our countries, a joint action was agreed upon for this purpose as well.
