If the information is not made public, a citizen should request the information by using e-mail and shall receive the answer also by e-mail. The processing time of each request shall be publicly available in “real-time”.
If making available of information about the functioning of public institutions was mostly performed electronically, citizens could obtain this information more quickly while the costs of providing such information could be decreased.
