Personal attitude

A recent statement of Drago Kosa, president of GRECO (Group of countries for fight against corruption SE), has attracted attention from the public, with a good reason. A main reason should not be fearing  the potential threat of effectuation of a so called procedure for uncooperative countries. Declaration, indeed contains a warning in case our country fails to fulfill recommendations from the biggest anti-corruption initiative, it could face being subjected to this procedure, as well as possible unpleasant diplomatic and other consequences.

It is undisputable that for quality implementation of any law, it is indispensable that those it refers to understand it, i.e., to experience it, whether it is pleasant or not, as necessary and useful. But, besides, and irrelevant to this, the fact should be uncontested for everyone that no responsible conception of law implementation should be lacking in its compulsive implementation mechanism and punishment of those who brake it. However, certain things, I, as Information Commissioner, am facing in practicality of  implementation of the  Law on free information access tell us that it is not so.
