Commissioner for information of public importance in Serbia is not in the position to often praise our government departments. Not because he does not wish, but because, regrettably so there are not many reasons for that. This is why recognitions for work done on implementation of the law, are rarely given, for example on celebration of September 28th, official Day of public's right to know. Even then, the recognition is not given by the Commissioner himself, but a special board made of journalists, media associations, NGOs, which should be the guarantee of objectivity. Still, even then there is a fear that the laureate could, with his subsequent actions cast a shadow on his award.This is why it is encouraging, that of this year's laureate -Ministry of Government Administration and local self-governance, has published its yearly report of their activity on their website accessible for people with special needs. Through the use of special software, transforming letters and pictures into voice or Brayer symbols, data will be accessible to the citizens who are blind or nearly blind.. By taking this step, the Ministry has effectively confirmed that the recognition, without a doubt was well deserved, and has also set an example fort other sectors to follow.
