SloveniaThe European Commission has issued two recommendations to Slovenia in its annual report on the rule of law. The first calls for additional measures to improve the fight against corruption and protect journalists. While Slovenia has made limited progress in ensuring consistent results in investigations, prosecutions, and court rulings in cases of corruption, including high-level cases, the Commission urges further action. The second recommendation focuses on improving journalist protection, noting that while some progress has been made since last year’s report, challenges remain, particularly regarding the practical implementation of new regional legislation. The Commission advises Slovenia to expand available protections for journalists in line with European standards. Regarding public media financing, the report acknowledges limited progress, highlighting efforts to address financial challenges at the Slovenian Press Agency (STA) but only modest steps toward improving the financial situation of Radio Television Slovenia (RTVS). The Commission has not provided new recommendations on media funding but pledged support under the EU Act on Media Freedom.
