SloveniaOn July 3, 2026, Justice Minister Mihael Zupančič met with General State Prosecutor Katarina Bergant to discuss challenges facing Slovenia's judiciary system, particularly in combating corruption and organized crime. The meeting was described as constructive by both parties, with discussions focusing on improving efficiency, shortening legal procedures, and digitizing processes. However, neither side provided concrete information about the establishment of the new anti-corruption unit 'SKOK,' which had been a key campaign promise of the Democrats before the election. Bergant noted that while the discussion covered potential changes to legislation, there was no need for an organizational overhaul but rather a content-based revision of laws. Zupančič confirmed that legal solutions for SKOK were still under preparation, with several open issues remaining.
Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives neutrally, quoting statements from both the minister and the prosecutor without evident bias. It does not favor one side over the other and provides balanced coverage of their discussion regarding judicial reforms and the SKOK unit.
