At the invitation of the Refugee Committee of the accommodation centre in Vič, Human Rights Ombudsman Matjaž Hanžek viewed conditions in the centre and used the opportunity to meet representatives of the UN High Commission for Refugees, Amnesty International, the 'Pregnanci' ('Exiles') programme of the KUD France Prešeren and the 'Politični laboratorij' association.

The Ombudsman listened to the views and positions of those present on the problem of regulating the status of persons granted temporary asylum and on their eviction by the end of June because of the planned building of a new asylum centre. He expressed his understanding of the distress suffered by people in the centre who during their ten-year wait to have their status regulated have already integrated completely. The state must provide a systemic regulation of conditions. The cases of refugees in the centre must be dealt with individually and separate solutions must be found for every family, added the Ombudsman, going on to express the need for promises on the regulation of conditions to be realised in law. He also invited the representatives of the Refugee Committee to take part in tolerant dialogue and a constructive search for solutions.
