The right to access information
The right to access information and reuse information is exercised in accordance with the Law on the right to access information ("Official Gazette", number 25/13 and 85/15).
The aim of the Act is to enable and ensure the exercise of the right to access to information guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, as well as to the reuse of information by natural and legal persons through the openness and publicity of the actions of public authorities.
The right to access information is based on the principles of publicity and free access, timeliness, completeness and accuracy of information, the principle of equality, the principle of information disposal, the principle of mutual respect and cooperation and, in accordance with Article 5 paragraph 1 point 5 of the Act, "includes the user's right to requesting and obtaining information, as well as the obligation of the public authority to provide access to the requested information, i.e. to publish information independently of the request when such publication results from an obligation determined by law or other regulation".
Information, in the sense of the aforementioned Law (Article 5, Paragraph 1, Item 3), represents "any data that is owned by a public authority in the form of a document, record, file, register, regardless of the way it is presented (written, drawn, printed , recorded, magnetic, optical, electronic or some other record), which was created by the body alone or in cooperation with other bodies or obtained from another person, and which was created within the scope of work or in connection with the organization and work of the public authority".
Reuse of information, in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 1, point 6 of the Law "means the use of information of public authorities by natural or legal persons, for a commercial or non-commercial purpose different from the original purpose for which the information was created, which is realized in the framework of a scope or work that is usually considered public work, determined by law or other regulation. The exchange of information between public authorities for the purpose of performing tasks within their scope does not constitute reuse".
