The Slovenian president, Nataša Pirc Musar, has withdrawn her planned speech at the state celebration of Slovenia's Day of Sovereignty on October 23rd in Koper. Originally, both Prime Minister Janez Janša and President Pirc Musar were scheduled to speak, but she decided against it due to disagreements over the organization of the event. The presidential office explained that they received a request from the prime minister’s cabinet to have only Janša as the speaker. They assessed that challenging this decision would likely fail, as the Coordination Committee, led by Jelko Kacin, makes final decisions on the event's program in case of disputes. Despite withdrawing her speech, Pirc Musar will still attend the celebrations, emphasizing that the event honors the nation and those who contributed to its independence rather than individual politicians.

The President of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, has decided not to give a speech at the upcoming Day of Sovereignty celebrations in Koper due to her desire to avoid unnecessary political disputes among top state officials. Tensions between the government led by Prime Minister Janez Janša and the presidential office have become evident in the organization of national celebrations and holidays. Shortly after taking power, the majority in the Coordination Committee for National Celebrations and Events, led by Jelko Kacin, managed to secure two speakers for the June celebration of independence. The president and prime minister both spoke at the event commemorating Slovenia's 35th anniversary of independence. Prior to the event, the presidential office had aimed to keep the number of speakers to one but was not informed about changes made by the government that allowed Janša to speak.
