Deputy Commissioner Sanja Unković held an introductory lecture at the opening of the Data Protection Officers Training second cycle at the National Academy for Public Administration (NAJU). The Deputy Commissioner introduced the participants of the training to the current situation in the field of personal data protection in the Republic of Serbia, emphasizing the importance and the role of the Data Protection Officer, and appealing to authorities and other Data Controllers who are obliged to designate a Data Protection Officer to do so as soon as possible and inform the Commissioner about it, that is, if necessary, to update data of their current DPOs ensuring not to list their private addresses and phone numbers as contact information for those persons.

This training was developed as part of the World Bank Project "Training Services for Data Protection Officers and Raising Awareness of Civil Servants in accordance with the GDPR, the Law on Personal Data Protection, and the Law on Information Security of the Republic of Serbia" aiming to improve the implementation of the Law on Personal Data Protection and the Law on Information Security.
