The findings from the thematic visits were presented by NPM Serbia and other representatives of the Serbian prison system, while Deputy Šelih and the member of NPM Slovenia Robert Gačnik, spec., also addressed the situation in Slovenia in more detail, including in regard to the arrangement or provision of healthcare in prisons from the public healthcare network as examples of good practice.
