YOUTH INITIATIVE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS v. SERBIA JUDGMENT – SEPARATE OPINION 11 prohibition of access may not suffice for the effective enjoyment of the right to information. 3. Without prejudice to the specific circumstances of the Leander case, to grant the citizen more restricted access to important information that concerns him or her and is generated or is used by the authorities than to the general public on public information may seem illogical, at least in certain circumstances. An artificial distinction between public data and data of personal interest may even hamper access to public information. Of course, access to information under Article 10 must respect, in particular, informational self-determination and the considerations referred to in Klass and Others v. Germany (6 September 1978, § 81, Series A no. 28).
