Janša pleads not guilty in defamation case brought by ex-STA director

Celje, 1 December - Opposition SDS leader Janez Janša has pleaded not guilty at a pre-trial hearing in a defamation case ex-STA general manager Bojan Veselinovič brought against him for a 2021 tweet Janša posted about him while the STA was under enormous pressure as the Government Communication Office (UKOM) refused to provide it with statutory funding.
