The handbook on European Data Protection Law in the Serbian language was prepared to provide support to the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection within the project "Protecting Freedom of Expression and of the Media in Serbia (PROFREX)" which is part of a joint program of the European Union and the Council of Europe "Horizontal Support Program for the Western Balkans and Turkey".

The Manual, developed by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), the Council of Europe, and the European Data Protection Supervisor, contains key insights into data protection standards, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which has made significant precedents in terms of the balance between the right to privacy and freedom of expression, and as well on the practice of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
