Ljubljana, 19 November - The Celje Higher Court has not granted opposition leader Janez Janša's appeal against a EUR 8,000 fine for calling STA director Bojan Veselinovič in 2021 an accomplice to the murderer of a journalist. Janša, who was prime minister when the STA and his government were in a financial dispute, must pay the fine and the costs of appeal proceedings.
