SloveniaOwnership & classification
Founded: 2003
Ownership
The Slovenia Times, the country's main English-language news outlet (launched 1 March 2003), was historically published by the private firm Domus d.o.o. on behalf of the Government Communication Office. Since November 2022 it has been acquired and is published by the Slovenian Press Agency (Slovenska tiskovna agencija, STA), the national news agency, which is wholly owned by the Republic of Slovenia. Editorial and corporate control therefore now sits with a state-owned public-service news agency rather than a private company.
Funding
Operates as a digital news outlet (and historically a print magazine) financed through advertising and through its parent STA, which receives a public-service budget from the state for its core agency mandate. There is no significant party or foreign-investor financing.
Affiliation & stance
Because it is now owned and published by the state-owned Slovenian Press Agency rather than a private commercial company, The Slovenia Times is best classified as STATE-affiliated (a public-sector outlet) rather than fully INDEPENDENT. STA is bound by law to professional, non-partisan reporting, so the outlet's editorial line is broadly neutral/center, but the controlling entity is the state via STA.

The class for himself: the wimp before the Tour has increased the advantage over Vingegaard
Tadej Pogačar currently leads the cycling rankings with 11,593 points, significantly ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, who has 8,625 points and won last year's Giro d'Italia. Pogačar's teammate Isaac del Toro ranks third with 5,340 points. Pogačar recently secured three stages and a team victory at the Swiss race, preparing him for his upcoming Tour de France campaign, where he aims to win his fifth overall title, matching a record. In the all-time weekly ranking, Pogačar is 248th, while his compatriot Primož Roglič holds the second spot with 75 weeks at the top. Roglič has climbed three places to become the 43rd best cyclist globally. Other Slovenian cyclists like Matej Mohorič and Jakob Omrzel are among the top 200 riders and will likely compete at the national championships. Slovenia's top eight cyclists have enough combined points to secure fourth place in the national standings, behind Belgium, Denmark, and France. In women's cycling, Dutch rider Demi Vollering leads with 6,705 points, followed by Spanish rider Paula Blasi and another Dutch cyclist Anna van der Breggen. Slovenian cyclist Urška Žigart, after suffering a jaw fracture during the Swiss race, has dropped to 37th in the U2
Radiologists in Maribor signed a group resignation, then a reversal
In the morning, the University Clinical Center (UKC) in Maribor announced that interventional radiologists had refused to sign new employment contracts, instead collectively signing a resignation letter. They demanded the resignation of the general director and chief medical officer, which reportedly failed to be addressed. However, there was a reversal as Health Minister Tadej Ostrc brought good news, stating that after talks with the interventional radiologists, an agreement was reached. The minister assured that people would not be left without essential healthcare services. Earlier in May, seven interventional radiologists had resigned, citing unpaid readiness status. The hospital director Vojko Flis confirmed the resignations, while former head of the department Jernej Lučev stepped down. Radiologists claimed they had been unable to reach an agreement with management for over a year, but Flis denied this, expressing hope for resolution despite warnings of no capacity. On July 1st, radiologists were supposed to sign new contracts but instead signed the resignation letters. The UKC stated that all parties had committed to an agreement where radiologists would be paid per case,分级
Has the Constitutional Court disregarded the rule of law and ruled in favour of the usurpers of RTV?
The Constitutional Court of Slovenia has reportedly made a decision in the case involving RTV (Radio Television of Slovenia), with five judges voting against two. This decision could be seen as a blow to the rule of law, as critics argue the entire process surrounding the new RTV law has been heavily influenced by politics rather than legal or professional standards. The court previously stated it would not make content-related decisions, which confused many due to the significance of the issue for a key public institution. Two judges were excluded from the decision-making process due to potential conflicts of interest, including President Rok Čeferin, who has ties to a law firm associated with RTV, and Neža Kogovšek Šalamon, who worked at the Peace Institute involved in the referendum campaign related to the RTV law. Critics argue the new RTV law was politically motivated, giving significant influence over editorial policies to a leftist faction. The process was further complicated by legal challenges and lack of broad consensus, with opponents claiming the law allows any ruling party to reshape RTV according to their agenda.

This is a duck. I do twice as much as everyone else combined.
The article discusses Branko Grims' response to accusations from the European People's Party (EPP) regarding his low attendance at parliamentary group meetings over two years. Grims claims he has participated in many meetings and was present with Lene Düpont on some occasions, while denying that other EPP members were absent. He argues that the criticism stems from his commitment to defending values he promised voters, including opposing 'LGBTIQ+ indoctrination of children,' advocating for the cessation of green transitions, reducing bureaucratic burdens on businesses, tax cuts, and protecting borders. Grims also criticizes the expansion of EU authority, citing the European Court of Justice’s ruling against Hungary’s child protection law as an example. While he supported a radical right initiative against the European Commission, he later withdrew his signature but was absent during the vote. The article notes his participation in conferences with far-right groups and support for Viktor Orbán’s actions. Grims denies being too right-wing for the European People's Party, insisting he advocates for 'child protection, women's protection, citizen security, economic success, border保护, 和欧

Zakaj se opozicijski poslanci bojijo preiskave o Black Cube?
The parliamentary investigation into the Black Cube affair, which involved allegations of illegal financing of political parties, was rejected during a session of the National Assembly on Tuesday. The investigation had initially aimed to look into claims that the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) ordered surveillance and recordings implicating individuals linked to the previous government in deep-state activities. However, the investigation was halted due to the failure to confirm the agenda of the extraordinary session. Left-wing opposition members, including those from the Freedom Party (LS), Social Democrats (SD), and the Left (Leva), contributed to the rejection by either not attending or abstaining from voting. Notably, prominent figures such as Robert Golob and Matjaž Han did not attend the session. The recordings from the Black Cube scandal implicated several high-profile individuals, including former Justice Minister Dominika Švarc Pipan, who claimed that then-Prime Minister Robert Golob still exerted significant influence over GEN-I, despite his formal resignation. These revelations were seen as exposing deep-state operations involving politicians like Zoran Janković and ex
