Ownership
Bloomberg Adria Slovenija (si.bloombergadria.com) launched on 1 July 2022 as the Slovenian edition of Bloomberg Adria, a pan-regional business-news network covering Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. It is a joint venture in which US-based Bloomberg Media licenses its brand and content to Mtel Swiss SA, the network's owner; Mtel Swiss is majority-owned by Telekom Srbija, the Serbian state-owned telecom. Day-to-day it pairs translated Bloomberg News with original local business reporting from a Ljubljana hub.
Funding
Financed by its corporate parent (the Bloomberg/Mtel Swiss venture) plus advertising and a partial paywall on premium business content; revenue derives from the telecom-backed owner rather than the Slovenian state budget.
Affiliation & stance
Editorially it is a professional, business-focused outlet with a broadly liberal/center economic orientation and no Slovenian party tie. However, because its controlling owner (Mtel Swiss) is majority-held by the Serbian state-owned Telekom Srbija, the outlet's ultimate control sits with a foreign state-linked entity, which is a notable caveat to a simple INDEPENDENT label even though its day-to-day reporting is non-partisan.

In 15 regions of Russia, restrictions on the sale of fuel were introduced for 24 hours
At least 15 regions in Russia implemented fuel sales restrictions on June 23 due to a fuel shortage caused by attacks on oil refining facilities by Ukrainian drones. The restrictions include limiting fuel purchases to specific volumes per person and banning refueling into cans. These measures were introduced in major regions such as Khanty-Mansiysk, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Saratov, Penza, Omsk, Voronezh, Murmansk, and Krasnoyarsk. Authorities cited the need to prevent artificial shortages and excessive demand. In Irkutsk Oblast, some gas stations imposed limits while others stopped operating entirely. Governor Igor Kobzev initially linked the fuel shortage to drone strikes but later removed this statement. In Vladimir Oblast, residents were urged to reduce car travel, and in North Ossetia, authorities ordered the creation of an emergency fuel reserve. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak described the situation as 'not simple but controlled,' attributing regional restrictions to temporary logistical issues. Fuel sales have effectively halted in Crimea after an attack on a logistics hub in the Kerch Strait, with the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service also禁止
In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño. Brandolini connects the
Unofficially, Ziggy Fatty is leaving the top of the SDH today, so who's in the running for successor?
The article reports on the impending departure of Žiga Debeljak from his position at SDH (Slovenian Democratic Party), following the resignation of Andrej Ribič. Debeljak is expected to officially resign today after submitting an informal notice to the Ministry of Finance and relevant authorities. His exit marks the end of the Kadrovska vladavina (cadre leadership) era under Robert Golob. The article suggests that Debeljak’s resignation was expedited to secure him a new mandate, which has caused some public backlash. As a potential successor, Branko Bračko, a long-time manager of Unior and member of SDS, is mentioned as the most likely candidate for chairman of SDH's board. Debeljak gained public recognition through his role at Mercator, succeeding Zoran Janković, and later continued similar management policies within Gorenje. There are informal mentions of Debeljak possibly seeking a position in the European Investment Bank (EIB), though this remains unconfirmed.
Height of safe infrastructure
At the Visa Payments Forum in Paris, Visa introduced the first real-time transactions in Europe where AI agents act on behalf of cardholders to make purchases on partner e-commerce sites. These transactions occur live, moving beyond controlled testing environments, with AI agents selecting products and completing purchases based on user instructions. Visa connects banks, merchants, and AI systems through its network to enable secure, authenticated transactions using AI agents compliant with European regulations. The initiative, part of Visa's 'Agentic Ready' program, aims to expand AI-assisted shopping across various sectors like travel, retail, and online commerce. Visa emphasizes trust as the foundation of this development, drawing parallels to the expansion of contactless payments.

Was the attack on the Ukrainian businessman revenge?
A bomb attack on Ukrainian businessman Vadim Yermolayev in Monaco has raised questions about whether it was revenge. The explosion, which injured Yermolayev, his wife, and their teenage son, occurred outside his residence. French and Ukrainian media report multiple directions in the official investigation, with most evidence pointing toward a connection to fraud call centers in Ukraine, where Yermolayev is suspected to be involved. While investigators have identified a suspect, they have not disclosed the motive or linked the attack to any organization, leaving room for conflicting theories. One theory suggests involvement by Ukrainian intelligence services (SBU), citing Yermolayev’s complex relationship with Kyiv, including sanctions over alleged support for Russian interests on Crimea. Another theory points to criminal networks tied to Yermolayev’s business empire, particularly legal troubles involving his eldest son Arthur, who was arrested in Cyprus and later extradited to Estonia for allegedly running fraudulent investment schemes. The case highlights ongoing concerns about financial crimes and corruption in Ukraine.

Lowest unemployment since 1990, but a difficult situation for part of the economy
The article reports that Slovenia has recorded the lowest number of registered unemployed individuals since 1990, according to data from the Employment Office. However, it highlights challenging conditions for the labor market, particularly affecting vulnerable groups. While there was a slight decrease in unemployment compared to May and June of the previous year, the number of new registrations increased due to more overfilled workers and bankruptcies. The article notes that the labor market still faces a shortage of workforce, impacting employment opportunities, especially in industries like manufacturing and construction. It also emphasizes that certain demographic groups, such as young people aged 20–29, remain particularly vulnerable during economic downturns, with their situation worsening first. The report includes findings from macroeconomic analysis units indicating significant disparities among different population groups in terms of labor market participation.
The amount of gasoline available in Russia is determined by a match between Ukrainian drones and Russian service teams.
The article discusses the impact of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, leading to severe fuel shortages across much of the country. Two-thirds of Russia's 83 regions now report fuel supply issues, affecting millions of people and threatening the survival of many businesses. The situation is particularly dire in Crimea, where occupation authorities have declared emergency conditions and banned fuel sales. President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged the problem but downplayed its severity, claiming it is not critical and shifting blame onto Russian attacks on Ukraine. Domestic social media is flooded with footage of angry drivers at gas stations, highlighting the growing frustration among Russians. Additionally, India, Russia's largest foreign buyer of crude oil, has announced plans to export refined petroleum back to Russia, indicating a lack of domestic refining capacity due to Ukrainian strikes. Analysts suggest that the availability of fuel in Russia is now determined by the ongoing conflict between Ukrainian drones and Russian maintenance teams.
