The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection ordered by a decision to the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, to provide without delay, and within maximum 5 days, information on inspections carried out in factories "Yura" in Raca, Nis and Leskovac in the period from March 2010 to 6 May 2016, as well as information on whether the Nis department of Labour Inspection received cars as presents from "Yura corporation", to the journalist of the daily newspaper "Danas".

The Ministry is obliged to inform the Commissioner of the implementation of the decision within 7 days of its receipt.

The Ministry neither complied with the journalist's request to access information, nor justified within the specified deadline the reasons for failure to act, after her appeal to the Commissioner.

The work of inspection bodies, as well as of all other state bodies, is generally subject to regular, and fully lawful interest of the public. In this particular case, the public interest was further increased by the statements of the representatives of several unions and a number of employees, reported in the media, according to which the working conditions in these factories are extremely difficult and poor, which logically and expectedly must be subject to inspection by competent bodies.

The statements also expressed dissatisfaction with the inadequate attitude of the Labour Inspection, and one of the alleged reasons was "Yura Corporation" donating cars to the Labour Inspection. In addition, information that the representatives of "Yura Corporation" confirmed they had donated cars to the Inspection stating that this "was required by the Ministry" surfaced in public.

The nature of all the unanswered questions in this case, from workers' rights and inspection activities relating to their protection to the controversial donation, constitutes the basis for the indisputable right of the public to all relevant information about them.
