SloveniaThe Slovenian Journalists' Association (ZNP) has strongly protested against claims made by the organization 'Novinarji brez meja' (Reporters Without Borders), which alleged that a new amendment to the law on parliamentary investigations threatens the confidentiality of journalistic sources and allows their disclosure. The ZNP stated that these claims appear to originate from domestic leftist activists and are based on misleading information. After reviewing the proposed changes, the ZNP found no provisions requiring journalists to disclose their sources or granting investigative committees such authority. The amended fourth chapter explicitly protects the secrecy of letters and other communications and the inviolability of privacy. The legal aid provision applies exclusively to cooperation between courts and other state institutions with investigative committees. The Media Act's sixth chapter still clearly defines source confidentiality and prohibits forced disclosure. The ZNP called on 'Novinarji brez meja' to recheck the information they received, compare it with the actual text of the law, and publish a correction or explanation.

It criticizes leftist activists for spreading misinformation and portrays the new law as addressing concerns over misuse of judicial
Zašto ove ocjene (Činjenice 85 · Objektivnost 70): Factuality is high as the article accurately reports ZNP's response to RSF's claims, providing specific legal references. Objectivity is lower due to the strong language used ('zavajajoči', 'popolnoma neutemeljena') which suggests a clear stance against RSF's position.
