The MNZ replied that the collection box had been installed at the entrance to PS and marked ‘Anonymous submission of complaints and commendations’. We proposed that PS Kranj relocate the collection box to the entrance of PS and mark it accordingly with ‘Anonymous submission of complaints and commendations’, whereby the PS may also add the text in English. The MNZ replied that the collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations would be put in a more suitable location in the entrance hall and would be marked accordingly in Slovenian. We proposed that PS Kranjska Gora put the MNZ brochure on the rights of detainees and a list of lawyers in the room for discussions with clients and lawyers. The MNZ replied that the relevant brochure had been placed in the room for discussions with clients and lawyers. Furthermore, we proposed that PS Kranjska Gora install the collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations in front of the stairs or next to the call bell. The MNZ replied that police officers of PS would install the collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations next to the call bell for the disabled. We proposed that PS Krško inform the management to regularly record the reviewing of entries in the book of complaints and commendations. The MNZ failed to reply to this proposal. We proposed that PS Litija additionally mark the external collection box with ‘Anonymous submission of complaints and commendations’ or to relocate the collection box from the hallway of the PS to the outside (at the entrance). The MNZ replied that the internal collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations would be removed, and that the external collection box had already been equipped with the uniform sticker, ‘Anonymous submission of complaints and commendations’. When visiting PS Ljubljana Vič, we suggested installing the collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations at the entrance of PS and that the purpose of the collection box also be marked in English. The MNZ responded that the entrance to PS building was under video surveillance, which is why the relocating the collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations would not improve anonymity. The collection box was marked according to the Public Use of the Slovene Language Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia [Uradni list RS], Nos. 86/04 and 8/10). Furthermore, we proposed that PS Ljubljana Vič move the book of complaints and commendations to the entrance hall near the duty officer to improve access. The MNZ replied that it had been decided that the book of complaints and commendations was in a visible place and that duty officers enable clients to write in the book at their request. We also proposed to PS Ljubljana Vič that the room for conversations with lawyers (interview room) be equipped as soon as possible with the necessary MNZ and PIC/IOM posters on the rights of detainees and on the process of refugee return from the Republic of Slovenia and suitable brochures. 128 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
