A person or a department responsible within a company for receiving reports is obliged to follow up diligently on the report and within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding 3 months, provide feedback to the reporting person about the follow up.
If there is no feedback or no appropriate follow up, the person can report externally to the centralized state authorities responsible.
The authorities responsible have the obligation to follow-up on the reports made by whistleblowers and inform them about the outcome of the investigation. If after a reasonable period, 3-6 monts, the authorities have not informed the whistleblower about the follow up given, the whistleblower can disclose the information to the public, including to the media.
