The Slovenian Parliament's leadership has failed to set a schedule for an extraordinary session concerning the opposition's request for an investigation into the Black Cube affair. This decision has raised concerns among the opposition about whether the agenda of the session will even be approved. The issue centers around the potential parliamentary inquiry into the activities of the Israeli private intelligence agency Black Cube and allegations of indirect financing of political parties. On June 29, 2026, the committee of the President of the National Assembly did not approve the schedule for the extraordinary session scheduled for Tuesday. Only the parties Freedom, SDS, and Left and Spring supported the proposed agenda items. The ruling coalition, composed of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), New Slovenia (NSi), Social Democrats (SD), and others, has expressed reservations regarding the establishment of parliamentary investigative committees on these matters. According to the SDS party, the parliamentary inquiry into the Black Cube affair would involve political reckoning. Regarding the alleged indirect financing of political parties, they argue that such an inquiry was already conducted in the previous legislative term and thus cannot be initiated again. However, the opposition, including representatives from Freedom, Left and Spring, and the Social Democrats (SD), disagree with this stance. They emphasize that new information could emerge, which would justify initiating a new investigation. Freedom's leader, Borut Sajovic, highlighted that new information can arise regarding specific topics, which the parliamentary investigative committee in the previous mandate might have lacked. Similarly, the leader of the Left and Spring faction, Aste Vrečko, emphasized that MPs should be allowed to perform their duties without interference. Opposition leaders criticized the ruling coalition's approach as procedural maneuvers aimed at circumventing the legal requirements for establishing parliamentary inquiries. They argued that the ruling coalition is attempting to bypass the rules governing parliamentary investigations, particularly in the case of the Black Cube affair. According to Sajovic, the message to Slovenia is clear: fulfill the responsibilities outlined by the constitution, laws, and the assembly's regulations rather than politicizing non-political issues. The leader of the SD parliamentary group, Meira Hot, noted that the ruling coalition could prevent the establishment of a parliamentary inquiry by either not approving the session's agenda or abstaining during the vote. Vrečko viewed this as an undemocratic removal of the will of the MPs and their right to address the matter. She described it as an inappropriate move by those who "hold the scissors and canvas in their hands." Meanwhile, the ruling coalition has not issued public statements following the meeting of the President of the National Assembly. At the end of the meeting, however, a proposal was accepted to consider a draft amendment to the law on holidays and free days, which would declare August 7th as a national holiday named Day of Triglav. Although this proposal was introduced by members of the Freedom party, it would not constitute a day off for work. The Black Cube affair involves allegations that the Israeli private intelligence agency secretly recorded conversations between prominent Slovenian figures from politics and the judiciary. The opposition seeks to determine who ordered and paid for these recordings, as well as why representatives of Black Cube visited the headquarters of the SDS and whether this was an attempt to influence the outcome of the March 22 parliamentary elections. In addition to investigating the Black Cube affair, the opposition also wants to examine allegations of indirect financing of political parties through interconnected business and media arrangements and the possible inflow of funds from abroad. Another related inquiry, proposed by members of the Respublica, SDS, and the NSi-SLS-Fokus alliance, aims to investigate potential misuse of the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency (Sova) and the police. The National Assembly will hold a solemn session on Wednesday in memory of the former president of the Democratic Party (DS) between 2002 and 2007, Janez Sušnik. On Thursday, the Assembly will convene for a session where it will consider proposals for the operational program of the DS for the year 2026. The Black Cube affair has become a significant point of contention in Slovenian politics, with the opposition seeking transparency and accountability while the ruling coalition appears reluctant to initiate further investigations. As the situation unfolds, the role of the National Assembly in addressing these allegations remains crucial, highlighting the importance of democratic processes and the rule of law in ensuring governmental integrity.

According to reports, Kadivnik has completed his career with the agency and will no longer hold a leadership role. He served under the current director, Janez Stušek, but was reportedly viewed negatively within the coalition due to his involvement in the Black Cube affair. MPs from SDS, NSi, and Resni.ce have already requested a parliamentary investigation into the actions of Sova and the police in the Black Cube case. Kadivnik was known for being active in the media, which was unusual for an active head of a secret service. His career in intelligence began in the 1980s, where he worked in various leadership roles at Sova, focusing mainly on operational tasks and counterintelligence.
