  • Access to information in Slovenian theory, legislation, administrative practice and case law [Elektronski vir]
    Kovač, Polonca, 1971-
    Transparency is a key principle of good governance and contemporary public administration and the basis for a democratic and efficient exercise of public authority and public services. The paper ... addresses this principle and its executive rights to information in Slovenia, as conceptualised in theory and legislation, particularly the Freedom of Information Act (adopted in 2003) and the General Administrative Procedure Act and their implementation in Slovenian administrative practice and case law. The concept is elaborated by theoretical and empirical research. The results reveal that transparency is highly acknowledged in Slovenia, both at regulatory and implementation levels. The latter has been developed mainly through the independent Information Commissioner as an appeal body and the prescribed procedure of legal protection. However, there are some open issues to be tackled by further research and consistent case law, such as the definition of different rights to information and their relations, which entities are bound by law to disclose information to specific beneficiaries, and the scope and basis for exceptions from primary openness.
