The Constitutional Court has cleared an act securing EUR 780 million in investments in the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) until 2026 as well as parliament’s decision not to allow a referendum on the act sought by the centre-left opposition.
In a decision passed by five votes to four, the court found the National Assembly and the government have reasonably grounded the urgency of the investments and that the decision not to allow the referendum was justified. Defence Minister Matej Tonin welcomed the court’s decision as being in the interest of the state.
