Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, Rodoljub Šabić, spoke with Charles Gorens and Andreas Gross, reporters of the Monitoring Committee in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly. Talks have been lead within the monitoring procedure of fulfilling obligations that the Republic of Serbia has taken over by its membership in the Council of Europe.  

In regard to that, the Commissioner, Rodoljub Sabic said:

"Topic of the discussion were questions pertaining to harmonization of our legal arrangement with the European one, according to the standards affirmed within SE and EU. Topics of special interest were practical results achieved in the field of human rights and freedoms and in fight against corruption.

Within the talks it has been stressed that together with adopting new laws, equal importance is placed on creating conditions for their application in real life. I am satisfied because that in this context, reporters of the Monitoring Committee have evaluated as very important moves in the plan of improving the information access freedom and contribution to that by the Commissioner for Information and his service, as well as because this talk has confirmed that in the process of adopting European democratic standards, including the freedom to access information, we can count on the assistance and support from the Council of Europe."
