STA director Veselinovič resigns as financing impasse continues

Ljubljana, 30 September - STA director Bojan Veselinovič resigned after turning down a draft public service agreement proposed by the Government Communication Office (UKOM) that he described as damaging for the agency. The move was met with calls to the government to honour legislation and resume funding to preserve the STA's autonomy and prevent its collapse.
