The Slovenian parliament (DZ) has scheduled an extraordinary session on Friday to decide whether to establish parliamentary inquiries into allegations against the company Black Cube and potential illegal financing of political parties. The decision was delayed after the initial agenda was rejected by coalition members during an earlier session. The opposition parties (Svoboda, Levica in Vesni) have proposed these inquiries, which would investigate who ordered and paid for covert filming of conversations with prominent figures, including politicians and lawyers, and whether there were attempts to influence the outcome of recent elections. They also seek to examine alleged hidden funding through business and media ties. Additionally, the session will address a proposal to amend the law regarding national symbols, restricting the display of flags without legal basis. The ruling party (Resnic) claims the decision will depend on whether the proposers reconsider their stance on conducting separate sessions for the inquiries.

Prime Minister Janez Janša and his wife Urška Bačovnik Janša attended a two-day NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, on July 7, 2026. The Slovenian delegation included Foreign Minister Tone Kajzer and Defense Minister Valentin Hajdinjak. During the summit, Janša held bilateral meetings with leaders from Germany, Czech Republic, Latvia, and Albania, and briefly met with U.S. President Donald Trump. The main topics discussed were increasing defense spending, strengthening military industrial production, continued support for Ukraine, and improving NATO readiness. According to a NATO report released before the summit, Slovenia would allocate less than 1.2 billion euros, or 1.61% of GDP, for basic defense needs, remaining the only NATO member below the 2% threshold. This follows previous years where Slovenia, along with Albania and the Czech Republic, was under the 2% threshold. Janša criticized this situation, questioning Slovenia’s credibility and national security within NATO. Former Prime Minister Robert Golob had previously defended Slovenia’s compliance with NATO commitments using broader interpretations of defense spending, but he noted changes in U.S. administration policies.

A group of parliamentary factions including SDS, NSi, SLS, Fokus, Demokrati, and Resni.ca have submitted a request for an urgent session of the Finance Committee, accusing the current government led by Dr. Robert Golob of mismanaging public finances. The petition highlights concerns over fiscal irresponsibility, lack of transparency, and wasteful spending under Golob’s administration. They point to specific examples such as the purchase of over 13,000 laptops stored unused in a warehouse, controversial purchases of buildings, and inflated infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, essential local projects like water supply, roads, and healthcare facilities have stalled due to insufficient funding. The groups criticize the government for allocating funds abroad for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zambia, and other countries while failing to support domestic needs. They also cite increased spending on migration-related costs and note that the new government under Janez Janša was informed of significant budget deficits.

According to a NATO report published ahead of a summit in Ankara, Slovenia plans to allocate approximately 1.61% of its GDP to basic defense needs this year, amounting to just under €1.2 billion. This would make Slovenia the only NATO member state spending less than 2% of its GDP on defense. Last year, Albania and the Czech Republic were also below the 2% threshold but are expected to increase their spending to 2.15% and 2.01% respectively this year. The report notes that Slovenia’s current figures reflect actual numbers after the new government took office in early June. The new government has committed to fulfilling promises made at last year’s Hague summit, aiming to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, with 3.5% allocated to core defense needs and 1.5% to other security-related investments.

The Slovenian Parliament (DZ) has scheduled an extraordinary session on Friday to decide whether to approve opposition-led parliamentary investigations into the Black Cube affair and potential illegal financing of political parties.
