When entering the visible roundabout, do you have priority in relations to traffic users who are already in the intersection?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right lane, a silver car is driving next to you in the left lane, and you are approaching a roundabout; on the left and on the right there are signs A-7 "give way" above signs C-12 "roundabout", and further on a blue board showing the direction for lorries. When entering this roundabout, you do not have right of way over road users who are already on it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign C-12 means that at the junction traffic moves around an island or square in the direction shown on the sign, and sign C-12 together with sign A-7 means that a driver already within the junction has right of way over a driver entering that junction. The signs repeated on both sides of the entry are there to make sure that the driver in each lane sees them. Circulating vehicles come from the left, so before entering you look to the left, adjust your speed and enter a gap that will not force anyone to brake; on the roundabout you drive without an indicator, and you switch on the right one before your chosen exit.
Legal basis: § 36 para. 1 and 2 and § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
