The Security-Information Agency (BIA) has submitted 64,000 files to the Archives of Serbia since 2004, Belgrade daily Danas writes. However, there are still no criteria as to how the archives are to be sorted, personal files are not legally treated, and according to the Trustee for Information of Public Importance Rodoljub Sabic, a large number of personal files dating back to 1945 have disappeared from Secret Service archives, says Danas. “64,000 files from BIA thus far” Speaking to the daily, experts in this area highlighted the necessity to adopt laws on treatment of files, but also laws on opening security service files, because Serbian archives were still only working on the basis of the Law on Cultural Goods from 1994, which does not govern the issue of classification of files. It is not possible to see someone’s personal archive in the Archive because there are no regulations for this, while the names of secret service operatives are also a big problem, as they need to be kept hidden to protect their families. Archive Director Miroslav Perisic told the daily that BIA had delivered 64,000 files from its archives since 2004. He said that personal files had ever disappeared from the Archives, emphasizing that a commission of experts had been formed whose job was to register every file that arrived from BIA, including the subject matter of the file and the quantity that had been delivered to the Archives. He said that since there was no law on archives, the Archives of Serbia worked in accordance with the Law on Cultural Goods. A new draft law has been drawn up, which he hopes will be adopted by the spring.
