In the letter, addressed to the Prosecutor, Zagorka Dolovac, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, Rodoljub Sabic, has highlighted that the document of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade, which was received by the Commissioner yesterday, contains insinuations without any factual or legal grounds that the Commissioner has allegedly committed a criminal offense of some sort, it is not clear which one, and that objectively it cannot be understood otherwise than as a threat, or as an impermissible attempt to influence the independent institution of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection.
The Commissioner has stressed in his letter that a public prosecutor’s job certainly does not involve presenting anyone with the prospect of criminal prosecution of some kind, or issuing threats, but rather involves enforcing the law, and instituting criminal proceedings when it finds that there are legal grounds to do so.
In this regard, the Commissioner requested the Republic Public Prosecutor to ensure that the Higher Public Prosecutor in Belgrade, if it is able to do so, articulate the corresponding indictment for "a crime" and raise it against him before the court having jurisdiction, or to refrain from extreme unfair insinuations and threats in the future, which are completely inappropriate for normal relations between state authorities, whereby, above all, the reputation of the Public Prosecutor's Office is being crumbled.
