Upper chamber vetoes new RTV Slovenija law

Ljubljana, 20 July - The National Council has imposed a suspensive veto on the law amended by the lower chamber last week to overhaul the governing bodies of the public broadcaster so that their members will no longer be appointed by parliament, political parties or the government. The ruling coalition has a comfortable enough majority to override the veto.
