Commissioner Published Video Tutorial for Filling Out Public Authorities' Information Booklet
In accordance with the amended Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance, most authorities have an obligation to create an Information Booklet regarding their work in electronic and machine-readable form, which is being published through an Information Booklet unique information system. This system is managed and maintained by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, at the Internet address: https://informator.poverenik.rs/pristup.
The public authorities are obliged to fulfill this obligation, under the threat of misdemeanor liability, within one year from the date of this law’s entry into force, that is, by November 16, 2022.
