The Constitutional Court changed Tamara's name to Barbara and got the vintage wrong for two years.

An article reports on two significant errors made by Slovenia’s Constitutional Court in its July decision regarding the RTV Slovenia law. Former RTV Slovenia program board chairman and co-initiator of the constitutional review, Dr. Peter Gregorčič, pointed out these mistakes on social media. The court mistakenly changed the name of the petitioner from 'Tamara' to 'Barbara' and incorrectly stated the date of withdrawal of the petition as November 14, 2025, while the actual document was dated November 13, 2023, and received by the court on November 14, 2023. These errors raise concerns about the court’s institutional care and reliability, especially in sensitive constitutional matters. The article also references legal expert Dr. Matej Avbelj, who identified seven systemic constitutional law errors in the court’s decision, including issues with depoliticization claims, inconsistent evaluation criteria, logical contradictions, effective judicial protection, and non-compliance with EU and European standards.
