COMMISSIONER
FOR INFORMATION OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

On the occasion of the text published in the daily newspaper "Danas" no. 8909-8910 on February 19-20, 2022, on page number 11, entitled "Police illegally use identification cameras" the Commissioner informs the public that parts of the statement, published on the website of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection on February 18, 2022, regarding the supervision carried out by the Commissioner's authorized persons in the Ministry of Interior, and on suspicion of using facial recognition technology by the members of the Ministry of Interior during the protests held on November 27 and December 4 last year, were conveyed mostly correctly but that the title above the text is extremely incorrect, untrue and does not correspond to the true state of affairs determined by the published supervision.

In this regard, the Commissioner emphasizes that the real truth is that the authorized persons of the Commissioner who performed the supervision did not determine that the face recognition technology was used by the police during the above-mentioned events.
