Capital City: Personal data from the Capital City illegally leaked from 2018 to June 2023.

The capital announced that, following the supervision of the Agency for the Protection of Personal Data and Free Access to Information in the Secretariat for Local Self-Government and Cooperation with Civil Society, it was established that this local self-government, from 2018 to June 2023, is the Directorate for Statistics (Monstat) illegally provided personal data from the marriage register, i.e. data on marriages.

"The data was downloaded and handed over at the counter of the registry office of the Secretariat for Local Self-Government on a USB memory stick, a device that was not owned by the Capital City and for which protection measures were not provided. As stated in the surveillance report, this action resulted in the violation of four members of the Personal Data Protection Act, because there is no valid legal basis for such provision of data from the Act on Family Registers and the Personal Data Protection Act," the announcement states.

In the report on the supervision of the AZLP, it is pointed out that a statement was taken from a person, an employee of the Secretariat, who dealt with handing over a USB memory stick with personal data from the registry, and whose statement is quoted as saying that this was done "on the basis of a verbal order from someone an official from the Secretariat whose name he does not remember".

"We remind you that until 2019, the head of the Secretariat for Local Self-Government was Mišela Manojlović, after her - until July 2023, Dragica Milačić, and from July 2023, that position will be taken over by Slađana Anđušić, the current secretary who stopped the handing over of the flash hand in hand at the counters of the registrar's office. This is another in a series of abuses that have been discovered in the capital, and we expect that the competent institutions will initiate appropriate procedures," the statement concluded.
