SloveniaThe first working meeting of Slovenia's new government under Prime Minister Janez Janša took place on July 17 at Brdo near Kranj. The meeting aimed to outline concrete projects by the end of 2026, align coordination between the government and parliament, and familiarize members with priorities across different ministries. Coalition partners sharply criticized the previous government led by Robert Golob, accusing it of leaving a disastrous state on ministries, specific projects, and public finances. The new government has identified addressing European Union delays—particularly in finance, environment, and economy—as a top priority due to potential financial penalties if these directives are not met. One of the most important measures in the early months will be rebalancing the budget, which will be approved by late August to reflect the true state of public finances and avoid exceeding allowed deficits. The coalition also adopted a protocol for efficient coordination between the government and parliament to prevent legislative blockages seen in the previous term.
