According to Prelesnik that kind of information remains public only to those in charge of the companies, and not to other employees. "In practice we have the biggest problems with newer entities (which refuse to accept the new regulation) and with those authorities part of the wider public sector (for example the DUTB Bad bank, The Bank of Slovenia, public institutions from the field of education – especially the State Examination Center – and the AKOS Agency for Communication Networks and Service )," listed Prelesnik.

The office of the Information Commissioner currently employs 29 people and Mrs. Prelesnik said that they often hope they had more authority. Many people often come to them with demands out of their jurisdiction.

Most of the complaints they receive are connected to the so-called silence of the authorities – when an authority fails to reply to citizens within 20 working days, a time period set by law. "According to my opinion it is unacceptable for the authorities to remain silent – It has been more than 10 years since the passing of the law and citizen's rightfully expect the authorities to have had enough time to learn about their responsibilities," Prelesnik is convinced.

Responding to a question why she wasn't more active on social networks, Prelesnik explained that those in charge of various institutions also express the views of those institutions, and that social networks are not the place to do it. "We are available to the public though. You can visit us, reach us by telephone (available everyday in the mornings and afternoons), e-mail, and we also refresh our web page – all our written products can be found there," said Prelesnik.
