This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia.
Aiming to respond to the new challenges, including the impact of digitalization on data privacy, the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia adopted the new Law on Personal Data Protection (the Law) in November 2018.The implementation of the Law began in August 2019 with a view to make it possible for all the actors to adapt to the latest legal requirements. The Law incorporates the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU (GDPR), which prescribe the way in which personal data may be processed and provide for the rights of data subjects (any person whose personal data is being collected, held or processed). It also includes provisions concerning the obligations of all entities processing personal data (data controllers and data processors), as well as the Directive pertaining to data protection in cases of personal data processing for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties (known as the Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive). Furthermore, the Republic of Serbia recently signed the Protocol amending the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Processing of Personal Data (known as the Convention 108+).
Collecting, processing and storing personal data is among the core activities of the authorities engaged in the prevention and prosecution of criminal and other offences. Therefore, the Mission will assist the Commissioner’s Office and public authorities in the implementation of the Law by commissioning an analysis of the security sector related legislation from the perspective of personal data protection.
The analysis will provide a detailed overview of the competencies of the law enforcement authorities, as well as other authorities in the security sector, with regard to the processing of personal data. It will also include an assessment of the current framework for democratic control of personal data processing without the consent of the data subject for the purpose of prevention and prosecution of criminal and other offenses. Finally, the analysis should provide recommendations in case there is a need to improve personal data protection regulatory framework.
To this end, the Mission requires the services of two experts in the field of personal data protection to conduct an analysis of the security sector related legislation, prepare a report based on the analysis and findings, issue specific recommendations for possible interventions, and present the report to relevant stakeholders and the public.
