The MNZ replied that all deficiencies would be eliminated no later than by 24 June 2016, when the
contractor finished the works.
We also proposed that PS Ljubljana Bežigrad provide an additional pillow for detained persons, which is
certainly necessary for overnight detention.
The MNZ responded that PS received five additional pillows on 23 June 2016.
We proposed that PS Ljubljana Šiška examine the possibilities of renovating detention rooms or closing
down the rooms and marking that they are no longer in use.
The MNZ replied that a notification had been posted informing that the detention rooms were no longer
used.
Furthermore, we suggested that PS Ljubljana Šiška examine the possibility of installing a padded cover
on the door of the interview room (used for conversations between detained persons and their lawyers),
which would reduce the possibility of hearing confidential conversation, particularly because the toilets
are located opposite the interview rooms and are used by clients visiting the station.
The MNZ responded that our proposal would be examined.
We proposed that PS Ljubljana Vič examine the possibility of installing a wash basin with running water
in both detention rooms, which otherwise have suitable equipment, during the renovation works.
The MNZ replied that running water would be ensured in detention rooms within the framework of
major investment and maintenance works, technical capacities and available funds.
We suggested that PS Ljubljana Vič provide a sufficient number of pillows necessary for overnight detention.
The MNZ replied that the station had already submitted a request for the supply of two pillows to the
relevant service.
We proposed that PS Maribor I affix the water tap to the wash basin in room 1 for shorter detentions.
The MNZ replied that the tap in the room had been affixed accordingly.
We further proposed that PS Maribor I examine the possibilities of repairing wall cracks in the premises
for longer detention.
The MNZ replied that tender documentation for the repair had been drafted and that the walls would be
repaired when the contractor had been selected.
Finally, we proposed that PS Maribor I deliver a sheet to a detained person in addition to a pillow also in
the case of shorter detention and in the case of overnight detention, unless this is considered unsuitable.
The MNZ replied that the station had ordered suitable disposable fitted bed sheets for short (overnight)
detention.
During the visit, we proposed that PS Novo mesto suitably affix the water tap in room for longer detention
no. 1.
The MNZ replied that the tap had been affixed accordingly immediately after the NPM’s visit.
