Abstrakt
The article provides a legal analysis of the recent amendment to the Information Act, the adoption of which was preceded by a lengthy legislative process, including the use of the veto of the President of the Slovak Republic and considerable media coverage. The Information Act establishes the obligation for obliged persons to make information available on the basis of requests for information submitted by persons, or to publish certain information stipulated by law. With regard to the concept of the Information Act and the free access to information guaranteed by the Constitution of the Slovak Republic under Article 26 of the Constitution, which includes the free dissemination of the information, we are of the opinion that the information can be made available. The analysed amendment to the Information Act created space for questioning the legal certainty of authorised entities and introduced doubts to the public about the violation of the guaranteed right, namely by conditioning the payment of insufficiently regulated payments for the disclosure of information. The authors of the article also point to the application practice of some elements of the amendment in the Information Act in the Czech Republic, which also served as a model for the legislator of the Slovak Republic.
