The Law on Protection of Competition does not have similar definitions (Authority Confidential and Confidential Information) as used for purposes of this template.  As a general rule, the Serbian competition authority may not disclose information which is protected within the meaning of Article 45 of the Law.  In addition to protected information, information may not be shared if it represents classified  information within the meaning of the Law on Data Secrecy  (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 104/2009) or personal data which is protected and handled within the meaning of the Law on Personal Data Protection (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 87/2009). Furthermore, if information represents a business secret within the meaning of Article 2 of the Law on Protection of Trade Secret, it may not be disclosed without the consent of the information holder.  On the other hand, it must be clarified that some of the information falling under the definition of Authority Confidential Information in this Template, might not be considered confidential/ protected under Serbian law. One example of this from practice is the delivery of information by the Serbian competition authority to other beneficiary competition authorities of the OECD-GvH RCC, through the mechanism of Request for Information.
