In the print edition of Democracy read: RTVS in deep crisis: poor management, high salaries, loans and disputes

The article reports on the financial and operational crisis facing RTV Slovenia, a state-owned public broadcaster. It highlights that the management under President Natalija Gorščak has taken loans from the national treasury for regular salary payments while failing to implement a restructuring program. The article states that the state budget allocates approximately 15 million euros for national programs and audio production, but this money would effectively go toward employee salaries. RTV employs nearly 2,000 people, with annual operating costs exceeding 100 million euros. High salaries, some reaching over 9,700 euros gross per month, add to the financial burden, alongside accumulating legal disputes and attorney fees. A recent meeting of the RTV board, led by non-state representative Goran Forbic, revealed structural issues, including delays in receiving state funds due to pending agreements on the proper use of public funds.
