The Latvian system provides clear formal deadlines for acknowledging, assessing and giving feedback on whistleblower reports. At the same time, the actual duration of the procedure varies in practice. Simple cases may be resolved quickly, while complex cases may take several months or even more than a year. For whistleblowers, this means that the first response should come relatively quickly, but the full resolution of the case may depend on its complexity, the institution involved and whether other authorities need to participate.
