Zoran Stevanović, the President of the National Assembly, faces new accusations of misusing his office to secure a donor for the construction of an Orthodox church in Kranj. Investigative footage reportedly shows Stevanović acknowledging that he exploited his position in this matter. These allegations have prompted concern among politicians. Further scrutiny surrounds Stevanović as the individual who headed his election list in Ljubljana reportedly had over 6 million euros of debt forgiven on the same day the new allegations emerged. Separately, the Financial Administration (FURS) is again accused of failing to inform police about the seizure of a truck containing 14 million smuggled cigarettes. Economically, Slovenia's budget is projected to see interest costs double within five years, necessitating refinancing of its main debt by 2031. The country also faces significant agricultural losses, with drought damage unofficially estimated at 233.4 million euros.
