Slovenia

Slovenia's political landscape is dominated by the right-wing's move to initiate constitutional impeachment proceedings against President Nataša Pirc Musar, accusing her of 'endangering state security' through associations with Russian citizens. This development marks a significant escalation in political tensions. Meanwhile, new allegations of misconduct have surfaced, including an investigation suggesting a veterinary ordinance was specifically amended to benefit Katja Kokot, and continued scrutiny of Minister Janez Cigler Kralj for alleged misuse of state funds for a family car.

In other key domestic news, the government has ordered a lower risk level, prompting the Krško Nuclear Power Plant to reduce its reactor power to 80%. This comes as Slovenia experiences the final day of record-breaking temperatures, with a brief cool-down anticipated. Diplomatically, Slovenia is preparing for the inauguration of its first Israeli embassy in Ljubljana in September.

Further political figures are under the spotlight, with Parliament Speaker Zoran Stevanović facing scrutiny for allegedly submitting legislation drafted by a private clinic owner, and MP Žan Mahnič criticizing constitutional judges. Investigations are also underway into the undisclosed sources of funding for Anže Logar's 2026 political campaign. On a positive note, Anže Logar, also known as a river captain, has built the first and only wooden boat for the Ljubljanica river.
