We cannot help but wonder in which century the former President of the Republic of Slovenia, Danilo Türk, is living. His recent statements given to the national media outlet, Radio-Television Slovenia (on Friday’s episode of the show Odmevi – Echoes), have shocked the Slovenian public. Türk is convinced that Ukraine has already lost the war, …

Although the Russian invasion of Ukraine has clearly demonstrated how important it is for European countries to strengthen their defence capabilities, some people are still reluctant to increase defence spending – even now. This includes Prime Minister Robert Golob, who stressed ahead of Monday’s informal meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels that Slovenia is …

Slovenian politicians are officially on the side of the European Union, the global West and NATO when it comes to Russia and its war of conquest in Ukraine. But that is true only on the surface. Slovenian politicians are otherwise very reconciliatory with the Kremlin. Not only the “peacemakers” Türk and Kučan, even current politicians …
There is no shortage of nuclear sabre-rattling in Russian propaganda. While the possibility of a nuclear confrontation between the superpowers is negligible, the psychological-informational war, of which nuclear threats are a part, is in full swing.

Slovenia’s candidate for the post of European Commissioner, who is expected to take over the enlargement portfolio, is the focus of international attention. Namely, the media outlet Politico has once again written about her, describing her as “left-leaning,” and in particular, highlighting her past statements “which have been conciliatory towards Russia.” European Commission President Ursula …
The opposition believes Marta Kos to be unsuitable for the post of European Commissioner for a number of reasons. Among others, her inadequate experience, her lobbying activities, and strong evidence that she was a source for the Yugoslav secret service, the Directorate for State Security – UDBA, are all problematic. Her views on Russia are …

The story starts like an espionage-thriller movie. On the 5th of December 2022, in a spectacular action (using a break-in by smashing glass on the windows), police officers (and supposedly also agents of the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency – SOVA) broke into a house in Ljubljana’s Črnuče district and quickly arrested a married couple …
The Truth party (Resni.ca) was founded on a wave of pandemic discontent, as people across Europe became increasingly violent over the recovered/vaccinated/tested (RVT) condition.
