Content of the right to have information, according to Article  5 of the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Interest  ("Official Gazette of the  RS" no.120/04) covers the right of the applicant requesting  information, to be told if the body in power owns certain information of public importance, that is, if it is otherwise available to that body, then the right to make that information available to the applicant, by enabling him to gain insight into documents containing the information,  the right to have a copy of that  document, as well as the  right to have that document copy delivered to him, on his request, by mail, fax or in some other way. Simultaneously, as information of public interest in the sense of this Law, according to Article 2, one understands every information at disposal of the body in public power, that has been created during work or in relation to the work of that body in power, contained in a certain document, pertaining to everything about which the public has justified interest to know.

If the  content of the submitted request pertains to a copy of the existing document  which the body in power has,  the right of the applicant is undisputable according to the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance, to have the copy of that document with requested information be put at his disposal according to that Law.

If it is about request for issuing Land Registry Certificates or about request for issuing some other public ID, it is not a request for accessing information of public importance, because issuing of an ID means its compilation based on the data from public registries, following a specially arranged procedure.
