AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoBudget Rebalance Watch: Slovenia’s government has adopted the starting points for the 2026 state budget rebalance and the preparation of budgets for 2027–2028, setting total 2026 spending at €18.4bn and urging ministries to propose deficit-cutting measures while protecting key investments and social security; the rebalance is expected at the end of August, with 2027–2028 budget documents due by end-September. RTV SLO Funding Referendum: A non-binding referendum is set for October on whether to abolish RTV SLO’s licence fee (about €14 per household/month), with the ruling coalition arguing the current device-linked system no longer fits today’s media habits and the Resnica party pushing for a smaller broadcaster workforce; any change would still ultimately be decided by parliament. E-mobility Incentives Run Dry: Slovenia says no additional money will be allocated to the current electric vehicle incentive call because Climate Fund resources are already committed, noting that earlier EU Recovery and Resilience funding (ending May 2026) covered a major share of support (€43.9m between 2024–2026), so future incentives will rely mainly on tighter national funding. Academic Freedom Scoreboard: A new global ranking places Slovenia near the top for academic freedom (0.94), but still shows a decline since 2015, reflecting broader erosion of university autonomy across many countries.
