In Ljubljana, a local referendum was held regarding a parking regulation that had been withdrawn by Mayor Zoran Janković shortly after organizers collected enough signatures to trigger the vote. The regulation, which aimed to restrict parking in certain residential areas, was initially approved by the city council but later rescinded by Janković, who argued it would be costly to proceed with the referendum. Civil initiatives such as 'Za Ljubljano' and 'CILJ' challenged the legality of this withdrawal, filing a request with the Constitutional Court to assess whether the decision was constitutional and lawful. The referendum question asked voters if they supported implementing the parking regulation, but due to low voter turnout, the required quorum for rejecting the regulation was not met.
