DeloIndependent🔒CenterFactual 78Objective 688/28/2026The Slovenian parliament (DZ) has passed a law abolishing the civil service council, which was supported by coalition parties and Resnica but opposed by opposition parties. The reform, proposed by the government, aims to transfer the responsibility of selecting top officials directly to senior officers and other functionaries who oversee governmental operations. This change would involve digitalizing the selection process through eGovernment systems and removing the role of the civil service council in appointing high-ranking officials. Opposition parties argue that this removes safeguards against politically motivated appointments and criticizes the lack of expert consultation during the legislative process. Additionally, the DZ has announced advisory referendums on social welfare conditions, the abolition of RTV contributions, and voting rights for citizens of third countries at local elections.

The proposal was introduced by the government, led by State Secretary Božo Predalič from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration. He explained that the reform aims to directly manage special public competitions at the organ level, increasing the role of supervisors and other officials in selecting top officials. These officials are responsible for the functioning of organs and implementing their policies. Predalič emphasized that specific public competitions will continue for positions such as general directors, secretaries, heads of administrative units, and others. The Center for Human Resources will now oversee the evaluation of candidates' qualifications and leadership skills, while the entire process will be digitized through eAdministration, significantly shortening it. Coalition partners and Resnica supported the change, arguing that those responsible for organizational operations should also be involved in selecting senior officials they collaborate with.
