Minister Matej Matoz has transferred supervisory powers over the police to State Secretary Barbara Galič Hojnik. The move follows reports that the minister accessed active police investigations while on vacation, a level of ministerial interest in police work that has drawn immediate scrutiny.
The government is looking for liquidity elsewhere, redirecting funds meant for agricultural land maintenance toward crisis aid. Trade unions are attempting a different route to household relief, collecting signatures to force a change in the tax law they hope will lower the price of basic food items.
In the Ljubljana mayoral race, candidates Zoran Janković, Luka Mesec, Anton Rop, and Aleš Vrhovec debated how to fit more housing and fewer cars into the capital. Further afield, EU Commissioner Marta Kos expects Serbia to hand over the archives of the former Yugoslav secret police, though she noted that Slovenia should not use the files as a condition for Belgrade’s path into the bloc.
