By 2026, the Slovenian government is planning to purchase Israeli weapons and ammunition worth EUR 31.5 million, the newspaper Delo reported on Friday citing data the Left, a government coalition party, obtained by asking an MP question and from the budget documents.

The National Assembly has rejected President Nataša Pirc Musar's nominee for central bank governor, Anton Rop, a former finance minister and prime minister. Only 24 MPs endorsed him in Friday's secret ballot, well short of the 46-vote majority needed.

Prime Minister Robert Golob has accused the former management of the TEŠ thermal power plant of criminality in pushing through the EUR 1.4 billion construction of unit 6, which is being prepared for a wind-down just a decade later, telling the STA that the entire region is now hostage to that erroneous decision.

Prime Minister Robert Golob responded on Thursday to the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrants for leading Israeli and Hamas officials by saying "Slovenia respects the decision of the ICC regarding arrest warrants for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity and will fully comply with it".
