The Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection has, pursuant to Articles 39 and 57 of the Law on General Administrative Proceedings (LAP), published on his web site e-mail addresses through which he receives submissions of the parties, and the names of authorized officials of the Commissioner, who take decisions on administrative matters, or conduct proceedings and take certain actions in administrative matters.

The Commissioner has reminded all public authorities that, pursuant to the aforementioned provisions of the LAP, which shall come into force on 1 June 2017, they are liable to publish the data in the appropriate manner.

The Commissioner reminds us that we are, in terms of various liabilities of public authorities towards the citizens, often faced with the irresponsible attitude and lack of accountability for non-performance of liabilities, either because the authorities do not institute proceedings for establishing liability or because no liability is provided for. The Commissioner notes that the legislator "has forgotten", unfortunately this time as well, to sanction the authorities or their representatives in any way for the potential failure to perform liabilities and this can result in mass non-performance.

In this regard, the Commissioner calls on all authorities to display the correct attitude towards the public, through the execution of the said liabilities, or proactive disclosure of the said data, facilitate communication between the citizens and public authorities and confirm their undeniable right to know who takes decisions and official actions in the proceedings against citizens.
