2.2 residence permits in the republic of slovenia - Ljudmila

17
a. At the police station you will be asked to present your reasons for seeking international
protection, to disclose your personal information and to describe
the journey that has led you to Slovenia.
b. You have the right to an interpreter free of charge during the police procedure
and should be provided with one, if necessary.
c. According to some asylum seekers who have already gone through the procedure,
the inspectors are known to be extremely thorough in checking whether
the asylum seekers’ statements are true.
d. Once the police procedure is over, you will be placed in the Asylum Centre in
Ljubljana for as long as your application for international protection is being
processed.
When taking your fingerprints, the competent authorities might establish
that you were already registered as an asylum seeker in another European
country beforehand, which means that they will send you back to that
country and make sure that your asylum seeking procedure comes to an
end there. This rule, however, does not apply for Greece, the official position
of the Republic of Slovenia being that the circumstances for international
protection seekers are not adequate there.
e. You have the right to reside in Slovenia as an asylum seeker from the day
you lodge an application for international protection until you receive a final
decision with regard to your application.
f. The Asylum Centre will regularly provide you with food (three meals per day);
you will also be given clothes, shoes and a basic hygiene kit. You are entitled
to receive basic medical treatment as an asylum seeker (which is, however,
rather limited in range) and the right to attend organised forms of education.
