Visit by Students of Legal Clinic for Protection of Whistleblowers
The Office of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection was visited on October 5 by students of the Faculty of Law from the Legal Clinic for the Protection of Whistleblowers who perform professional practice in the organization of the Pištaljka (The Whistle) portal, on whose initiative the visit was carried out. They were addressed by Marko Milošević, head of the Education Department, who introduced the guests to the institutional development and competencies of the Commissioner. The meeting explained to our guests how they can obtain information in the possession of public authorities, the purpose of the Information Booklet, and under what conditions a complaint can be filed. In the following discussion, the focus shifted to personal data protection, and students had the chance to learn more about these topics through illustrative examples from practice. It was also pointed out how much the right to access information of public importance can influence the work of whistleblowers.
