Professor of criminal law at the Maribor Law Faculty, Miha Šepec, stated during the 24UR ZVEČER show that the public has a right to know the identities of the president’s associates, specifically requiring their full names. Šepec argued that the details surrounding certain events are of significant public interest. He noted, “We need to know who was in the car, what happened.
These are all the information that is important for the public, but it is still a person who is one of the most important people in the entire country. There is a great public interest in knowing all the information about this event.”
According to the professor, the president’s friends should be aware that their presence in official vehicles during protocol-related business trips may become public knowledge. However, Šepec clarified that if these individuals socialize in private residences, the public is unlikely to learn about those gatherings.
The discussion centered on the scope of public transparency regarding the circle surrounding the president. The professor emphasized that the level of public scrutiny is directly related to the visibility of the activities. The public’s right to information, particularly concerning figures connected to the highest office, remains a key point of discussion, according to his remarks.
