Vinko Vasle wrote that the law on parliamentary investigation has not been approved, although he claimed it was intended for a political showdown against corruption and crime on the left. He believed that the actions of the police, prosecution, and courts are more important, and called on law enforcement to start honestly investigating at least the cases of Golob and Janković. He argued that this could also lead to actions against others whom he labeled as part of a mafia-corrupted politics at various levels. Vasle highlighted the delay in taking action as a serious challenge and stated that everything is quiet regarding SKOK.
