This January, draft Law on Detectives prepared by the MoI was sent to the National Assembly in order to be adopted under urgent procedure.

After BCSP warned how, by its adoption, rights guaranteed by the Constitution may be endangered, Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, Rodoljub Sabic, asked for this draft Law to be withdrawn from procedure.

The problem is this draft stands in contradiction to the Law on Protection of Personal Data. BCSP specifically emphasized how by the wording of this proposal, after receiving an inquiry by private detective, every state institution would be obliged to provide data.

We invite you to read the statement by BCSP Researcher Marko Milosevic, published in the “Danas” daily newspaper on January 23, 2012.
