The meetup was opened by Ms. Dona Djambaska from the Metamorphosis Foundation, a fellow of the School of Data and Open Knowledge Foundation 2014 Fellowship Programmme. During the last meetup participants agreed that they would like to learn more about the Freedom of Information Act, so they would be able to obtain various information. This is why this meetup was also attended by Nade Naumovska, who has extensive experience in this field. She shared the idea and the way the law works, as well as her experience so far and explained in detail to the participants how they can obtain the necessary information of public character.
