The author determined that the realization of the right to access to public information in accordance with the standards of European legislation belongs to the components of the individual's right to freedom of expression. The author rejected the need for the requester of public information to emphasize the justification of the reasons for such an appeal to an administrative body or other subject of authority. The author determined that access to public information is implemented through a system of guarantees that must be provided at the domestic and international levels.
