Judiciary of Slovenia

After the Slovenian Constitutional Court reversed its decision to stay the legislative changes on the governance of the public broadcaster, the petitioners challenging the law have taken their case to the European Court of Human Rights. They allege violation of the right to a fair trial.

On the occasion of Constitution Day, Constitutional Court president Rajko Knez has told the STA in an interview that the country’s top court has also been affected by the Covid-19 epidemic in terms of caseload. He warned against the overburdening of the Constitutional Court with additional tasks in general as this may weaken the institution.
