The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia, has published the Guide to the Law on Access to Information of Public Importance in the Roma language. In this occasion, the Commissioner, Rodoljub Sabic said:
The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, Predrag Markovic, and the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance Rodoljub Sabic discussed today the problem of realizing and protecting free access to information of public Importance. In this occasion, the Commissioner, Rodoljub Sabic said:
The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, on the occasion of the Draft Law on Foreign Investment, assesses that it is of the utmost importance in the procedure of adopting this Law in the National Assembly, to evaluate and remove potential negative consequences of adopting, to put it mildly, very controversial provisions of Article 28, Paragraph 4, of this Draft Law. This is a provision which envisages that information on foreign investments, regardless of the Law on Access to Information of Public Importance, shall be absolutely inaccessible to the public, except by approval of foreign investors.
