The thesis focuses on the issue of administrative silence and its negative impact on the rights of clients, trust in the legal system, and the efficiency of administrative systems in Slovenia. An experimental study will be conducted to analyze the response times of nineteen Slovenian ministries to requests for public information, as well as to explore the variability in response times and the influence of contextual factors. The aim is to provide insights into the functioning of the response system for requests and to highlight the importance of optimizing procedures for transparent information exchange between public administration and citizens. The proposed solutions include setting clear deadlines, automating procedures, imposing sanctions for violators, improving staff competence, ensuring transparency, and raising public awareness of their rights. The issue of administrative silence is analyzed through domestic and foreign literature, legal regulations, and case law, with an emphasis on understanding the fundamental rules in Slovenian legislation. The research focuses on administrative silence as a consequence of insufficient knowledge of administrative procedure law regarding access to public information and the responsiveness of nineteen ministries in Slovenia. The fundamental rules applied in Slovenian legislation in cases of administrative silence are examined through professional literature and legislation, and their interpretation is also explored.
