Training of data protection officers for the implementation of the Law on Personal Data Protection from more than 40 city public institutions was held in the Great Hall of the Assembly of the City of Kragujevac.
The aim of the training is to familiarize data protection officers and persons designated by controllers and processors of personal data (if they do not have designated data protection officers), to be introduced to current legal solutions (in the EU and the Republic of Serbia) and to enable them to properly implement the Law on Personal Data Protection. On-site trainings, which will be implemented in the forthcoming period in 15 selected local self-government units, are particularly important for raising the capacity of personal data protection. In addition, panel discussions will be organized on the topic of personal data protection, which primarily aim to raise awareness of the general public and inform citizens.
The training was conducted by representatives of the Office of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Protection of Personal Data, with the support of the multi-donor “Facility supporting strengthening rule of law in the Republic of Serbia" (EU FOR FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION AND FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS) co-financed by the EU and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
