After the release of the President's video of the accident, a new twist: from her office, such a message (VIDEO)

The Slovenian presidency's office has expressed confusion over the premature release of video footage of a traffic accident involving President Nataša Pirc Musar, which was made publicly available before the ongoing criminal investigation concluded. The office stated that they had requested access to the footage but were denied due to confidentiality concerns related to the investigation. They questioned how the footage became public before the investigation's conclusion, noting that neither the president nor her friend, who was also involved in the crash, had been interviewed yet. The incident occurred at the end of July, and while the president admitted she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, there have been calls for greater transparency. The Public Agency for Road Safety (AVP) stated that they cannot assess the driver’s behavior based on the footage alone, as it lacks sufficient detail to determine speed or actions leading up to the collision.

The president's office is surprised that the accident footage is publicly available before the proceedings are over.

The Slovenian presidency's office expressed surprise that footage of President Nataşa Pirc Musar's traffic accident was publicly available before the ongoing criminal investigation concluded. The office stated that they had requested the footage directly after the incident but were denied access due to confidentiality concerns related to the investigation. They questioned how such footage could have been made public prior to the conclusion of the process, noting that neither the drivers involved had yet been interviewed. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not comment until police oversight was completed, at which point they confirmed minor administrative errors but no issues affecting the legal proceedings. Experts warned that reckless obstruction can be dangerous, emphasizing proper procedures for emergency vehicles and safe lane changes.
