Civil society organisations urge the Committee for Culture and Information of the National Assembly to withdraw a requirement from calls to the parliamentary groups regarding nominations of candidates for the election of the new Commissioner for Information of Public Importance Personal Data Protection, which forbids that the candidate be employed in another state body at the time of proposing for the function, as that is not stipulated by law.<\/p>\n

This criterion is an eliminating factor for all candidates currently working in state bodies, including the Commissioner\u2019s Office, and is contrary to article 30 of the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance, which states that a person selected for the position of the Commissioner cannot continue to work in another state body.<\/p>\n

The signatories of this announcement also indicate that the competent Committee of National Assembly initiated the procedure for selection of the new Commissioner almost six months after the expiration of Rodoljub \u0160abi\u0107\u2019s mandate, and foresaw only five working days for the submission of proposals. Besides, the calls were sent uniquely to parliamentary groups and not to the interested public.<\/p>\n

If the new Commissioner is selected in such a procedure, the legality and the legitimacy of this independent state body will be violated, and the democratic system in Serbia further compromised.<\/p>\n

The above-mentioned organisations prompt the\u00a0 Committee for Culture and Information \u00a0to accept suggestions for process transparency, openness and integrity criteria<\/a> when selecting the new Commissioner. More than 80 civil society organisations, media, business, professional and scientific communities\u2019 representatives submitted the said criteria to the National Assembly. In this way, the public would be adequately informed and included in the process of selection of the new Commissioner.<\/p>\n

Signatories of this announcement are: Belgrade Centre for Security Policy<\/a>,\u00a0CRTA<\/a>,\u00a0Lawyers\u2019 Committee for Human Rights \u2013 YUCOM<\/a>,\u00a0Partners for Democratic Change Serbia<\/a>,\u00a0SHARE Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0Transparency Serbia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Open Society Foundation Serbia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
