Instead of debating draft data protection laws in parliament today, the opposition launched a debate on the government. At the beginning of the session, opposition MPs asked for the government to explain the measures it had taken in the wake of Macedonia and Montenegro’s decision to recognize Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration. Parliament again straying from agenda However, after an hour of arguments, it was established that a quorum of 84 MPs was not present in parliament, leading to an adjournment of the session and its rescheduling for later in the day. The opposition called on the prime minister and ministers to address the parliament and answer why the ambassadors of Montenegro and Macedonia were not welcome in Belgrade, while the ambassadors of other countries that recognized Kosovo earlier were. To mark the government’s 100th day in office, MPs also wanted answers on a number of other questions, referring not only to the government’s policies towards Kosovo and EULEX, but on the increase in gas prices and the construction of the gas pipeline as well. The debate later turned to what was on the agenda—the draft data protection law, which defines the protection and use of personal information and guarantees the right to privacy. Ombudsman Sasa Jankovic proposed an amendment giving the trustee for information of public importance unrestricted access to all information. In the draft, the government envisages restrictions to the trustee’s rights to access information if it endangers national interests or public security, the country’s defense, or efforts to prevent investigations and prosecution of crimes. MPs adopted the amendment on the data protection laws, which limits the rights of the trustee to access to certain information.
