Through his associates, and with the participation of the representatives of the Administrative Court, and the judges, The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection held a conference devoted to the training of persons authorized to act upon requests for access to information of public importance in the Authorities of the Republic entitled "Open Issues in Connection with the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance".

The training was organized at the request of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government and was attended by tens of authorized persons from multiple authorities (the Ministry of State Administration and Local Government, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, Ministry of Mining and Energy, Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications, as well as the authorized persons of the Republic Directorate for Property, of the Republic Hydrometeorological service, the Republican Directorate for Commodity Reserves, the Republic Institute for Statistics, the Republic Geodetic Authority, the State Secretariat for Public Policy, the Intellectual Property Office, the Directorate for Electronic Administration, the Institute for Social Insurance, the Administration Inspectorate and the Mine Action Center).

The Commissioner says that yesterday's conference was very useful. At the same time, however, he believes that a large and constantly growing number of complaints he received indicate the need for continuous training of authorized persons. The continuous training in order to have the best performance of obligations and exercise of rights of citizens is a professional duty of these persons or bodies in which they work. The Commissioner would provide maximum assistance within real possibilities, just as he has done so far.
