The greatest number of received complaints is rejected by the Protector of Citizens because
the legally prescribed conditions for acting upon them are not fulfilled. The complaints are
rejected due to incompetence, untimeliness, prematurity, anonymity and formal deficiency.
A very important segment of acting of the Protector of Citizens upon complaints is the
provision of advisory-legal assistance which is provided by the Protector of Citizens even
when the complaint is rejected because of incompetence or prematurity. Such advisory

available legal remedies.
