Legal Aspects Of Public Work On Classified Information In The Republic Of Serbia

Summary/Abstract: This work sets out to analyze the most important legal concepts of the Classified Information Law, noting that this field is yet to be regulated in detail by a subsequent set of by-laws to clarify a number of issues related to its practical implementation. Considering the applicable legal solutions envisaged so far by the Serbian legal system for the field of the classified information protection, we can conclude that numerous regulations in this area have not been brought in line with contemporary and generally accepted international standards and comparative legal experience, which has resulted in an inadequate protection of national classified information, as well as in impeded cooperation in the process of sharing classified information with other countries and international organizations. Democratization of societies, which concerns countries in transition in the present-day situation, has to be based on the principles of rule of law and welfare state, transparency and open society, which imply the reaffirmation of the public sphere. It should be noted that one of the objectives underlying the passage of this law was to enable transparancy of work performed by all public authorities in various fields of their activities by considerably reducing the application of dicretionary rights and arbitrariness when processing any kind of information.
