Three civil society organisations (CSOs) \u2013 SHARE Foundation, Partners for Democratic Change Serbia (Partners Serbia) and Belgrade Center for Security Policy (BCSP) \u2013 published a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sharefoundation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Analiza_procene_uticaja_SHARE_Partneri-Srbija_BCBP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detailed analysis of the MoI\u2019s Data Protection Impact Assessment<\/a>&nbsp;(DPIA) on the use of smart video surveillance and have reached a conclusion that the document does not meet the formal or material conditions required by the Law on Personal Data Protection in Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of Serbia also published&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/praksa.poverenik.rs\/predmet\/detalji\/FB967E2A-AE57-4B2C-8F11-D2739FD85A9B\" target=\"_blank\">his opinion on the DPIA<\/a>, confirming the findings of the aforementioned organisations. According to the Commissioner, the DPIA was not conducted in line with the requirements of the Law on Personal Data Protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity to address all issues of public interest through the MoI\u2019s DPIA was missed, as well as the obligation to fulfill both formal and material terms required by the Personal Data Protection Law. The DPIA does not meet the minimum legal requirements, especially in relation to smart video surveillance, which is a source&nbsp; of most interest and concern of the domestic and foreign public. The methodology and structure of the DPIA do not comply with the requirements of the Personal Data Protection Law because The positive effects on crime reduction as described in the DPIA are overestimated, due to the fact that relevant research and comparative practices have been used selectively. It has not been established that the use of smart video surveillance is necessary for the sake of public safety, or that the use of such invasive technology is proportionate, considering the risks to citizens\u2019 rights and freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MoI should suspend further introduction of smart video surveillance systems. In addition, the MoI and the Commissioner should initiate an inclusive public debate on video surveillance legislation and practice that will be in line with a charter on the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.veilig-ontwerp-beheer.nl\/publicaties\/charter-for-a-democratic-use-of-video-surveillance\" target=\"_blank\">democratic application of video surveillance in the European Union<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharefoundation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Serbia-Video-Surveillance-Policy-brief-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Policy brief \u2013 Serbian government is implementing unlawful video surveillance with face recognition in Belgrade<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Impact assessment of video surveillance on human rights, conducted by the Ministry of Interior of Serbia, did not meet the legal requirements.
