Commissioner to the information of public importance, Rodoljub Šabić, attended today the official presentation of the Informer about the work of the Chamber of Economy in Serbia. Commissioner evaluated that the announcement of the Informer about the work on the official electronic presentation of the biggest association of the economist in our country, is huge contribution to the affirmation of the public right, and is showing very good example that many should follow with the reason.
In the relation to that Commissioner specially emphasized:
“Duty of announcing this document was fortified with the law for all state authorities, other words, subjects to whom public authority is trusted. Unfortunately, many of them are not accomplishing it, or they are accomplishing but formally and incorrectly. Informer about the work of the Chamber of the Economy is a good example of the really correct relation to this law obligation. Contents, dimension of information and their updating are showing that it is not just about the formal execution of duty, but about the effort to give the public all, or as many information about the status, organization and actions of the Chamber, about its authorities, about disposition of the financial and other means etc, as needed.
This informer is not just showing the correct relation to the law obligation, but more than that, about how the Chamber of the Economy understands and is ready to answer on the requests of the modern, informatical age in which the modern society is living, whose part we want to be. In modern, informatical society, about real qualities and potentials of each subject, especially those who posses the public authority, or are disposing with the public founds, their readiness and capability to show the public their work, any time, above all, is the best way of showing the responsibility and to have, or to confirm trust.
I accept, because it would be very useful, that the good example of the Chamber of Economy is fallowed by many. Especially it would be grate that those who are disposing with even more public authorities or public founds, do it as well. Those from which it is expected, after three years from the beginning of the enforcement of the law about the free access to the information, with all rights, that according to the public right begin to show the relation which would be more adequate to the law and time we live in.“
