The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia, held a conference on the occasion of marking the International Day of the Right of the Public to Know.
This day has been marked in Serbia since 2006 with the aim of inspiring all authorities to improve the transparency of their work and cooperation with citizens, and encouraging citizens to exercise their right to free access to information of public importance and to recognize the authorities as their partners. On the occasion of marking this day, awards are traditionally presented to representatives of public authorities who have stood out in the past year in affirming the public’s right to free access to information. In addition to the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, the speakers at this gathering were senior officials of international institutions.
