Description

We aim to change the position of whistleblowers in the Czech Rep. Although it is an essential tool for the protection of public interests, whistleblowers are being overlooked or ostracized, they are often afraid to report unfair conduct due to some retaliation. We will provide immediate assistance as we extend our legal counseling to include other pro bono services. We will find out how the public perceives the whistleblower and why, and we will make the problem known to the public accordingly. We will strive to promote high-quality transposition of the EU directive to czech legal system.
