The Constitutional Court issued a long-awaited decision regarding the RTV Slovenia law during a session yesterday, according to reports. The court finalized its ruling after a period spanning several years. Minutes from the session confirm that the ruling was adopted, though individual opinions from the judges are reportedly still being written.
This ruling concludes a protracted legal process that began following the re-election of Robert Golob’s government. Specifically, the constitutional body annulled a prior suspension concerning an amendment to the RTV Slovenia law that had been passed by the government in May 2023. The legal maneuvering surrounding the amendment has been complex.
Earlier in the year, the Constitutional Court initially suspended the implementation of the amendment. This initial suspension was later lifted following a visit by former European Commissioner Vera Jourova. Subsequently, at the request of the SDS, the Constitutional Court issued another ruling, this time annulling the suspension of the amendment.
The final decision represents the culmination of these procedural steps. While the core ruling has been adopted, the ongoing drafting of separate opinions suggests the full legal reasoning and implications of the court’s judgment will be detailed in subsequent publications. The ruling directly impacts the legal standing of the RTV Slovenia law as modified by the recent government legislation.
