SloveniaDr. Rajko Pirnat, a professor at Ljubljana Law Faculty, stated in the 24UR Zvečer program that the protection of President Nataša Pirc Musar is illegal. He argued that the law from 2003 clearly states that the president should be protected by the police, specifically the Office for Protection and Security. This legal provision has not changed and is more legally binding than any regulation. Previous governments had created different methods of protection that were inconsistent with the system's laws regarding police authority. The current government under Janez Janša adopted a regulation stating that the president’s protection would be handled within the presidential office rather than by the police. Pirnat criticized this as unlawful, emphasizing that the only legitimate form of protection is through the police.
