Le dossier de Krivolutka est chez Matoz, mais il est protégé pour des raisons personnelles.

A government agency holds documentation related to the extraordinary naturalization of Viktorija Krivolucka, but claims it is protected due to “personal data” concerns. The documents, which could shed light on whether she underwent security checks during her 2016 citizenship application, remain inaccessible despite repeated requests from the parliamentary committee overseeing intelligence and security services. The committee, known as Knovs, has been attempting to obtain the records since August 18, when Dnevnik submitted formal questions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration (MNZJU), citing the law on access to public information. The ministry responded by stating it does not possess the requested documentation, though it acknowledged that such materials fall under its jurisdiction. The situation escalated further when Knovs sought a second meeting with officials to discuss potential foreign influences, particularly from Russia and Israel, on Slovenia’s national security. Janja Sluga, chairperson of Knovs and member of the Freedom Movement party, explained that the documents were essential for assessing the security clearance process during Krivolucka’s naturalization. She noted that while the government had previously confirmed that the applicant was subjected to security checks, there was no evidence confirming this. “We want to know whether that actually happened and what exactly was verified,” she stated. However, the government denied the request, with Sluga criticizing the response as evasive and suggesting that someone was deliberately obstructing the inquiry. Sluga later received partial information, including two forms evaluating security risks for both Krivolucka and her close associate, President Nataşa Pirc Musar. She described the material as insufficient for a thorough assessment, emphasizing that the complete documentation, which typically includes all parts of the decision-making process, was still missing. “Only once we receive the remaining part of the file can we proceed with a proper evaluation,” she added. As a result, the session on foreign influence was postponed until after the full files are obtained, likely toward the end of the following week. Meanwhile, Dnevnik redirected its inquiries to the Office of the Prime Minister (Matoz), which claimed it did not have access to the required documentation and deferred responsibility to MNZJU. A spokesperson for the office, Sebastijan Jeretič, informed Dnevnik that the ministry lacked the necessary information and referred the issue back to the internal affairs department. This led to confusion, as the ministry itself appeared unaware of the extent of its involvement in the case. Further complications arose when the portal Siol submitted a similar request, receiving a response from Iris Jeglič, head of the Office for Administrative Internal Affairs. She clarified that while the ministry possesses some information, certain aspects are classified as personal data. Notably, Jeglič is not related to Roman Jeglič, a long-time associate of Krivolucka, which adds another layer of complexity to the case. As the political pressure mounts, the lack of transparency surrounding Krivolucka’s naturalization continues to fuel scrutiny. With no clear resolution in sight, the situation remains unresolved, leaving key questions unanswered and raising broader concerns about the accessibility of sensitive government records. The outcome will depend largely on how swiftly the government decides to release the remaining documentation, should it choose to do so.
