Will the employees of the Ministry be held accountable for any irregularities in the procedures?

The article reports on a controversy involving employees at Slovenia's Ministry of Education who were presented with an annex to their employment contract. This document attempts to shift responsibility for errors in administrative procedures from ministers and state secretaries to the civil servants who prepare the documents. The head of the Union of State Organs, Frančišek Verk, criticizes this practice, stating that it contradicts existing labor laws which hold public servants accountable for professional and diligent work. He argues that such contractual clauses are unnecessary and not commonly seen across other ministries. The ministry has responded by clarifying that the annex does not exempt ministers or secretaries from responsibility, as this is governed by separate legislation.

Bias read (Center): While the issue involves potential shifts in accountability within governmental administration, the article presents both perspectives: the ministry’s clarification and the union leader’s criticism. There is no clear ideological leaning in the framing of the story, and the report remains balanced in
