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, …

After the Trump administration told the European Union (between the lines) that it would have to take care of defences against the Russian Federation on its own, and especially in the wake of the spectacular row between Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office, European leaders, together with Canada, gathered briefly …
Since February 2022, much of the world has been in a modern Cold War. Unlike the 20th-century Cold War, Europe is not its main stage or battlefield this time, even though a hot war is raging on its continent. The primary struggle for power is taking place between the U.S. and China. A glance at …

A few days ago, MPs of the Left party (Levica) publicly called on the government they are part of to stop military aid to Ukraine. The position of an extremist and anti-NATO party could have been carelessly disregarded as part of the folklore of political extremists, had it not been for the fact that, at …
At a time when rumours are spreading that Slovenia intends to cut off further military aid to Ukraine, the opposite is happening in Croatia. The so-called “Dubrovnik Declaration” was launched in Dubrovnik, in which the leaders of the countries of South-Eastern Europe expressed their full support for an independent, sovereign and territorially integrated Ukraine, as …

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 …

“Corruption of the Slovenian media knows no bounds. While reporting on the Voice of Europe affair, when mentioning that the Russians bribed some MEPs, the national media outlet RTV Slovenia subliminally mentions Janez Janša, Peter Šuhel and myself, who have made statements or given interviews for this portal in the past,” MEP Milan Zver warned …
Two years ago, on the 24th of February 2022, Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of the sovereign neighbouring country of Ukraine, with bizarre excuses about “demilitarisation and denazification”. The aggressor has not achieved his key objectives, but the invaded country is still at war, and it does not look as if it will end …
One of the countries helping Slovenia cope with the consequences of the recent floods is also Ukraine. An aid convoy with heavy machinery and representatives of the Ukrainian Civil Protection arrived in Slovenia on Friday. The assistance was previously confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “Ukraine is providing humanitarian aid to Slovenia to help it …
