A session of the Working Group for drafting the Personal Data Protection Strategy for the period 2022-2030, organized by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Commissioner, was held yesterday. The session was attended by representatives of all relevant entities, including representatives of the civil sector.
Commissioner Milan Marinović and Deputy Commissioner Sanja Unković attended the 30th Spring Conference of European Data Protection Authorities, organized by the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP).
"Keep it personal." is a campaign launched today by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, to bring citizens closer to the right to personal data protection and the work of the Commissioner's institution.
"Based on the research on citizens' perceptions of personal data protection, we noticed that citizens are not sufficiently familiar with this right, whom can they turn to for help if they think their personal data is compromised, as well as who can process their data. Finally, citizens do not fully know the role of the Commissioner as an institution responsible for personal data protection. In order to point out the risks of violating this right, we made five TV spots that will be broadcast on national and local TV stations from May 16, 2022", Said Commissioner Milan Marinovic during the promotion of the campaign.

On the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection Milan Marinović gives the following statement:
"In times such as today’s, which are interwoven with various conflicting interests, true, accurate, and timely information represents one of the greatest values. That is why the role of journalists and the media is becoming more and more important every day. Unfortunately, there is a phenomenon that the freedom of the media is not respected to the necessary extent, which has a negative impact on the citizens being properly informed. That is why it is necessary to work every day on strengthening the freedom of media so that journalists can perform their important duty in accordance with the high standards of their profession.
