Jansa

Ljubljana/Brussels – The European Parliament’s democracy monitoring group has addressed almost fifty written questions to the Slovenian government, Prime Minister Janez Janša and Culture Minister Vasko Simoniti, as it is trying to fully assess media freedom in Slovenia.

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa left a video debate on media freedom in his country organised by the European Parliament's monitoring group on Friday, cutting off the opportunity for European lawmakers to ask him questions, but also to defend his views.
