The Ministry of Interior (MUP) in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia, launched training for its employees. It is planned that the lecturers from the Commissioner's Office and the lecturer from the MUP hold training sessions in all regional police administrations in the Republic of Serbia. The first training was held on April 4, 2024, in the Pančevo Police Department, where representatives of the Commissioner's Office Marko Milošević and Aleksandar Kocić Ranđelović from the Sector for Education and Certification, together with the representative of the MUP Dragan Obradović, held training on personal data processing in the field of Internal Affairs.
The second training was held on April 10, 2024, at the Zrenjanin Police Department by Aleksandar Kocić Ranđelović from the Sector for Education and Certification and Dragan Obradović, as the MUP representative.
The training sessions came upon great interest from members of the MUP, shown by the number of present police chiefs and police officers who asked specific questions which the lecturers answered trying to remove all ambiguities and doubts, especially regarding the purpose of personal data processing within the scope of their daily operational work.
The training in the field of Personal Data Protection was also held on April 11, 2024, at the National Academy for Public Administration (NAJU) where Commissioner Milan Marinović gave an introductory lecture at the opening of the third cycle of Training for Public Authorities Data Protection Officers. The Commissioner acquainted the participants of the training with the current situation in the field of Personal Data Protection in the Republic of Serbia, emphasizing the importance and 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 to inform the Commissioner about it.
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.
