The parliamentary committee chairman for economy, work, and sports, Robert Potnik (Demokrati), has decided not to convene an urgent session of the committee at the request of the Left and Freedom parliamentary groups regarding the case of Resnica MP Boris Mijič. The groups had requested the session to address questions about Mijič's political accountability and suitability due to alleged controversial business practices. Potnik stated that the focus of the request was on the individual conduct and ethical or political responsibility of Mijič, which does not fall under the committee’s jurisdiction. He emphasized that the committee's role is limited to matters within its defined scope, such as economic issues, and that questions related to a member's mandate, immunity, or rights are handled by the electoral commission. The Left and Freedom group had hoped to open discussions on Mijič's potential resignation, citing allegations that he receives a parliamentary salary while owing tens of thousands of euros to the state and former employees.

According to the parliamentary rules, questions related to MPs' mandates, immunity, status, or rights fall under the mandate-electoral commission. The request for a session was submitted by members of the Left, Vesna, and Freedom parties, who wanted to address Mijič's political responsibility and suitability for office.

It claims that three Resnica MPs, including Mijič, were offered bribes to switch political allegiance and that they allegedly rejected these offers.
