From Radio Student, an interview with Alma Sedlar, a former member of the governing board of Slovenian anti corruption agency who resigned due to what she calls a “systematic obstruction of her work”

Alma Sedlar is also author of a book on whistleblower protection in Slovenia, she describes Slovenian law regarding whistleblowers as a mix of qualities and fragilities. On the positive side it offers protection also to whistleblowers from the private sector and it allows whistleblowers to contact the media. On the negative side it provides protection only if the whistleblower raises issues of corruption or wrongdoings in the banking sector but in no other types of wrongdoings. According to Sedlar, whistleblower protection should be regulated in a separate law in order to regulate it comprehensively. Her interview is supplemented with an interview with MEP Igor Šoltes, from Green party, who is active on the issue of whistleblower protection and describes the changes and debates going on on the European level regarding this issue.
