DemokracijaParty-alignedProgressiveFactual 65Objective 607 days agoThe article by Dr. Anton Olaj discusses the reform of RTV Slovenia, which was enacted in 2022 through a constitutional amendment. The reform replaced the previous board structure with a new governance system aimed at increasing independence from politics, autonomy, and professionalism.
