The Protection of Whistleblowers Act (Zakon o zaščiti prijaviteljev – ZZPri), which will implement the Directive on the Protection of Persons Who Report Violations of Union Law (Directive 2019/1937) into the Slovenian legal system, will soon impose similar challenges on many institutions that we have faced since 2018 due to GDPR and the protection of personal data. Considering that the draft ZZPri quite convincingly passed the general debate (i.e. the first public reading of the law) at the plenary session of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia in November 2021, the author presents what awaits us when this law comes into force – if there is no separate third reading and veto of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, this will happen already in the first half of February 2023. The focus of the contribution is on the obliged entities and their task to establish internal reporting routes within 90 days of the law’s entry into force.
