The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection hosted Mojca Prelesnik, the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia, her deputy Kristina Kotnik Šumah, Andrej Tomšič, Alenka Jerše and Secretary General Sanja Vraber.

During the two-day visit, the commissioners discussed the improvement of the long-established, excellent existing cooperation. It was agreed to maintain and further intensify the exchange of experiences in the areas of freedom of information and protection of personal data, as well as to hold regular annual meetings to the purpose.

They discussed, in accordance with the potential interests of businesses from Serbia, the legal and factual conditions for the removal of personal data from Slovenia to Serbia, and it was agreed that the Slovenian Commissioner would in due course give a formal evaluation of these conditions.

A special subject of discussion was the content of the Model Law on the Protection of Personal Data, which the Serbian Commissioner and his associates prepared and made available to the Government of Serbia. During this conversation, the Slovenian Commissioner and her staff rated its quality very highly. Such an assessment, taking into account the experience of Slovenia in the implementation of modern, democratic standards of personal data protection, was received by the Serbian Commissioner and his staff with pleasure.
