Another Year
Expired“The European Council Parliament adopted a Resolution on measures for dispersing legacies of former totalitarian systems at its 23rd session. Item no.9 of the document, very important for freedom breakthrough of accessing “top secret” information says: Parliament welcomes public revealing of the secret service files in some of the former communist countries. It calls on all countries to allow those who are interested and make requests to access their files created by secret service. Almost all of the former socialist countries followed this initiative by the European Council.
Unfortunately, our country did not. It's been a decade this year since the European Council Parliament's Resolution has been adopted, six years from the autocratic regime downfall in our country and three years from our country's admittance into European Council. Each of the “anniversaries” warns us it is a high time to do something of immense importance for our country's international recognition and further democratic transition, by enacting the Law on opening secret service files. “
I published the quoted text here at the same place in November 2006. Another year has passed. Of course I do not think, there is a reason for satisfaction, in that after a year, during which we even presided the European Council, it is still an open issue.
