Strangers couldn't figure out why everyone was staring at the river.
A group of German tourists in Ljubljana were surprised by a large crowd gathering along the Ljubljanica River, expecting the arrival of NBA stars Luka Dončić and his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. The visitors, Monique, Kevin, and Dominik, initially did not understand why people were watching the river but were soon informed by locals about the connection to Dončić and a planned four-day team-building event in Slovenia. Fans had been eagerly waiting since early afternoon, some even traveling from nearby areas like Bled to catch a glimpse of the basketball players. Despite poor weather conditions, including strong winds and rain, fans remained hopeful that the Lakers would disembark and greet them. Some believed the best chance to see the players was at the boarding point of the tourist boat, while others thought they might walk through the city center instead. Eventually, a wooden boat arrived at a less crowded part of the riverbank, suggesting the Lakers were likely preparing for a private visit.
Most Germans don't believe that Chancellor Merz will live to see the end of his term.
Nova anketa YouGov, naročena s strani nemške tiskovne agencije dpa, kaže, da več kot polovica Nemcev pričakuje, da bo kancler Friedrich Merz zamenjan pred zveznimi volitvami leta 2029. 36 odstotkov vprašanih meni, da bo Merz ostal na položaju, a zamenjan pred volitvami, medtem ko 18 odstotkov pričakuje, da bo zamenjan že letos. 29 odstotkov vprašanih meni, da bo ostal vsaj do volitev. Veliko vprašanih ocenjuje, da Merz ni pridobil avtoritete zaradi nedavnih kadrovskih sprememb. Poleg tega raste podpora skrajno desni stranke Alternativi za Nemčijo (AfD), ki ima prednost pred CDU v nekaterih regijah. Anketa Insa kaže, da skoraj polovica Nemcev ne bojijo AfD, medtem ko 55 odstotkov ljudi starši od 70 let jo res bojijo. Skoraj polovica vprašanih meni, da bi morali glavne stranke zavrniti oblikovanje vlade z AfD.

Natasha Pirc Musar: Food is not a given
Slovenia's President Nataša Pirc Musar addressed attendees at the 64th International Agricultural and Food Fair Agra, emphasizing the importance of food security amid climate change. She highlighted the need for Slovenia to create conditions for stable domestic food production and support young farmers, noting that food sovereignty cannot be achieved through a single measure but requires more productive agriculture, stronger supply chains, and strategic approaches to local production. The drought this year has severely impacted Slovenian farming, and the country must build resilience against external shocks. Agriculture Minister Janez Cigler Kralj announced €8.1 million in emergency financial aid for farms due to rising energy costs, with €2.7 million coming from the European Union and €5.4 million from the national budget. He emphasized the importance of local food, youth involvement, and digitalization in shaping the future of Slovenian agriculture.
A federal judge has overturned Trump's visa ban on citizens of 75 countries.
The U.S. Supreme Court in New York has ruled to lift a temporary ban on issuing visas to residents of 75 countries, including several Western Balkan nations, which was imposed by former President Donald Trump's administration in January. The ban aimed to prevent entry of individuals who would 'receive public benefits' and was based on the claim that these applicants posed a public burden. Justice Jeannette Vargas of the federal district court in Manhattan declared the ban unlawful, stating that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his authority by implementing the policy. The ruling allows visa applications to resume for citizens of Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, among others. The decision highlights legal challenges to immigration policies under Trump’s administration, which had implemented multiple measures targeting undocumented immigrants.
A rally in the center of Ljubljana to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence
In Ljubljana today takes place a demonstration marking the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence. Around ten participants gathered on the City Square, intending to walk through the city center with Ukrainian flags later. The event called for continued support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. Organized by the Association of Ukrainians in Slovenia (Razom), the event was open to both the Ukrainian community and all citizens of Slovenia. The program included an event titled 'Thank You for Being with Ukraine,' where the association would award recognition to Slovenians who have supported Ukraine since the start of the Russian aggression in February 2022. Participants urged further support for Ukraine, not just in humanitarian aid and reconstruction but also in providing additional defense systems and missiles, as well as intensifying sanctions against Russia. The event was preceded by a statement from the association's president, Evgeniy Goresnik, emphasizing that while they do not come to celebrate, they remember that the war continues and silence is not neutrality.

Zelensky refuses to hold elections during the war.
Ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski zavrača možnost izvedbe volitev med vojno z Rusijo, kar oceni kot 'ogromno tveganje' in 'pravi cunami', ki bi razdelili državo. Njegova izjava sledi pozivu nekdanjega obrambnega ministra Mihajla Fedorova, da se volitve kljub vojni izvedejo, ker demokracija ne sme biti podvržena Rusiji. Fedorov prizna, da je izvedba volitev v času vojne zapletena, a ne morena, in opozori na potrebo po omogočanju glasovanja tudi vojakom, ljudem blizu frontne črte in Ukrajincem v tujini. V Ukrajini so volitve odložene zaradi vojne stanja, ki je veljal od februarja 2022.
The remains of 500 Croatian victims from Slovenian cemeteries were buried in Donji Maclj
In the village of Donji Macelj in northern Croatia, a commemorative ceremony was held for the remains of 500 Croatian victims of wartime atrocities, whose bodies were exhumed from mass graves in Slovenia. The event took place one day before the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of All Totalitarian and Authoritarian Regimes. Croatian Minister for Veterans Tomo Medved expressed gratitude to Slovenia for its cooperation in returning the remains to Croatia. The exhumation occurred in areas such as Trebč, Podstenice, Košnice near Celje, and Cerkelj near Koper. Based on personal items, religious objects, and clothing, the remains were identified as exclusively male, mostly aged between 18 and 40, including several minors. The ceremony included a funeral service with a blessing, prayers, and the laying of wreaths and lighting of candles. Medved emphasized the importance of acknowledging these crimes openly based on evidence, without fear or diminishing their significance, stating this effort aims to honor open wounds rather than reopen old divisions.
