Summary/Abstract: In November 2018, the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia adopted the new Law on Personal Data Protection (Law), which will be implemented from August 21, 2019. The drafting of the Law has lasted, at least formally, since 2013, when a working group was formed to this end. The whole process was excessively long, insufficiently transparent, and circumvented the expertise and experience of a key authority in this area - the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection (hereinafter: the Commissioner), as well as domestic civil society organizations (CSOs) which deal with this topic. The model law that the Commissioner has been preparing and refining for years has been completely ignored. Instead, law writers appealed to foreign experts, while hiding from the public their suggestions and comments.
