July 3, 2006

During the period of April 2005 – March 2006 the Freedom of Information Center has received applications from 913 people, 784 citizens, 85 non-governmental organizations, 22 journalists, 19 juridical persons and 3 state governance bodies and local authorities (Table 1).

FOICA regional lawyers have consulted 913 people. In 390 cases the lawyers helped citizens to write and send requests. The Freedom of Information Center has sent 62 requests by its own initiative which resulted in the difference of the number of citizens who had turned to FOICA and those who received support (see tables 1 and 2). State officials have responded to 361 out of 390 requests. 20 requests were denied and 9 requests remained unanswered by public bodies. Unanswered or illegally denied requests have been judicially disputed in 8 cases. The heads of remaining bodies have been included in the Black List.
