Tbilisi. The study was conducted at the initiative of the Institute for the Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), which is based on the global rating of freedom of information developed by the NGOs Access Info Europe (Spain) and The Centre for Law and Democracy (Canada). The rating aims to analyze and assess the domestic legislation regulating freedom of information in various states. According to the rating, the Serbian legislation on freedom of information tops the list, while the Georgian legislation occupies 30th place with 94 points.On the basis of this very global rating, the Institute for the Development of Freedom of Information has compared the respective Serbian and Georgian legislations, aimed at revealing those general, institutional and procedural components that secure the leading position of the Serbian legislation in the field of freedom of information. On the other hand, if taking into account the mentioned components, Georgian legislation will have a chance to take the openness of and access to public information to the leading positions.
