Transparency International Slovakia organized an online meeting with the head of the Slovak Whistleblowing Office, Ms. Zuzana Dlugošová on 8 December, 2021. Part of the discussion were also Ms. Zuzana Hlávková, whistleblower and former employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who in 2016 during the Slovak presidency of the EU Council warned of suspicious orders of the ministry, for which she received the White Crow award and Ms. Magdaléna Dobišová, vice president of the board and ethical manager of the Skanska SK company, who is the third largest employer in the construction sector in Slovakia. The discussion revolved around the topics of:
1) What is it like to be a whistleblower in Slovakia and how do they compare to whistleblowers in other contexts?
2) How do employers deal with these cases?
3) Can the new office really make a difference?
