Murska Sobota PS had also realised the recommendation to place the book of complaints and commendations in a more visible place (on the shelf in front of the window of the duty officer’s room) and that the management ensure regular reviewing of entries in the book as the book was now placed in a visible place (on the shelf in front of the window of the duty officer’s room) and had been reviewed by a competent senior officer. Krško PS had renovated and repainted the walls in the hallway in front of the detention rooms where the plaster was coming off and thus realised the NPM recommendation from our previous visit. When visiting police stations in 2019, we submitted 149 new recommendations, of which 134 were targeted and 15 systemic. The recommendations referred to the record-keeping and documentation (49 recommendations), living conditions (44 recommendations), discussion and forms of work (27 recommendations), legal protection and complaint channels (15 recommendations), other fields (five recommendations), activities (four recommendations), staff (three recommendations), general content (one recommendation), and health care (one recommendation). The foregoing testifies that many NPM recommendations were accepted and also realised, while those that were unrealised require more time for their realisation or the elimination of established deficiencies (e.g. access to running water in rooms for shorter detention, filling of vacancies for duty officers at police stations, installation of video surveillance in rooms for receiving persons deprived of their liberty). When visiting Velenje PS, it was determined, for example, that the NPM recommendation from our previous visit stating that a recreation area be arranged for persons deprived of their liberty was not realised as the police station still lacks the recreation area although the MNZ responded that the proposal for arranging the recreation area would be implemented if technically feasible. The police station still ensures outdoor exercising to persons deprived of their liberty by means of direct physical supervision of police officer(s). We thus again proposed that the MNZ provide a suitably fenced area where persons deprived of their liberty would be able to exercise outside without permanent physical supervision of two police officers. On that note, we highlighted the recommendation of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment given during their visit to Slovenia that measures must be taken to ensure outdoor exercise to all persons detained by the police for 24 hours or more. The recommendations that were not accepted include, for example, those that refer to procedures with foreigners whom the police took to detention at distant police stations or even from the area of Rogaška Slatina to Ljubljana Police Detention Centre, concerning which the MNZ explained that such cases were few. Some unaccepted recommendations relate to the provision of brochures or installation of posters concerning the rights of persons deprived of their liberty in the rooms 49 2.4 VISITS TO POLICE STATIONS From a total of 149 recommendations, 84 were accepted and realised, 42 were accepted, but not yet realised, and the Ministry of the Interior (MNZ) failed to state its position with regard to two recommendations, while 21 were not accepted.
