Description
 

Freedom of information has been rightly named as the „oxygen of democracy‟3 that gives meaning to such notions as participatory democracy, accountability and good governance. At the same time freedom of information is a fundamental human right, guaranteed under international and national laws. This freedom is intrinsic to any democratic society as it primarily aims at guaranteeing that the public in a democratic society is adequately informed, a tool that allows individuals to protect their rights and interest, participate in decision-making process, and last but not least make government bodies work better, be transparent easily accessible.
