We have sent a request to the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia for information on all visits to Prime Minister Robert Golob in December 2023.

They informed us that they retain visitor records for 14 days, which means they no longer have records for December 2023 and cannot provide them to the public.

They added that the basis for the so-called deletion of visitors is in the “Evidence of the processing activities of the controller of the visitor records”. According to their statements, this applies to the General Secretariat of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, the Cabinet of the Prime Minister, the Government Communication Office, the Government Office for Slovenians Abroad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Protocol of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.

We have checked what the Evidence of processing activities means and found that it is primarily intended for internal review and control of the procedures for processing personal data carried out by the individual controller or processor.

Clarifications were published on May 25th, 2022, by the Information Commissioner (IP), source: Evidence of processing activities – IPRS (ip-rs.si), an institution led by Mojca Prelesnik. We are still checking whether these instructions also apply to the list of visitors in individual government institutions.

In our opinion, it is a first-rate scandal that Prime Minister Robert Golob is hiding the list of visitors and behaves as if running the country and the associated cabinet is his personal institution.
