Restoring credibility: the current government is also making amends with NATO, where the previous one had messed up

The recent NATO summit in Ankara marked the first time Prime Minister Janez Janša attended since the alliance's formation, highlighting Slovenia's renewed engagement after years of disengagement under previous leadership. The article criticizes former Prime Minister Robert Golob for failing to meet Slovenia's NATO obligations, particularly regarding defense spending commitments. This failure has raised concerns about Slovenia's credibility within the alliance, potentially leading to exclusion or a referendum on leaving NATO—a goal reportedly aligned with the transitional left. The article notes that Slovenia was the only NATO member not meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target set at the 2014 Wales summit, and the current government is now working to rectify this situation.
