SL Speech

Preparation of the European Council meeting of 20-21 October 2022 (debate)

Watch

Madam President, honourable High Council. The world is at a crossroads and in crisis, and politics has been holding a compass in its hands for months, the magnetic needle of which points towards social-democratic, people-oriented politics. If politics is sincere in its intention to overcome the energy crisis and the costly, it will follow this infallible compass. European socialists and democrats …

Continued internal border controls in the Schengen area in light of the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (C-368/20) (debate)

Watch

Mr President, it’s about time. Today Parliament is discussing, at my request, this groundbreaking ruling on Schengen. It has been six months since the European Court of Justice ruled that Austrian and Italian border controls have been illegal under EU law since November 2017. But despite this ruling, nothing has changed. Austria and five other Schengen states again blocked the controls for another…

The accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen area (debate)

Watch

Situation of fundamental rights in the EU in 2020 and 2021 (debate)

I am very sorry to draw your attention, dear friends, to the worrying and unsustainable situation on Radio Television Slovenia. After two years of Janez Janša's reign, and when he declared war on the media, the bitter battle af…

The Three Seas Initiative: challenges and opportunities (topical debate)

Watch

Madam President-in-Office! The Three Seas Initiative is an important forum of twelve European Union countries located between the three European seas. This has developed in the hope of greater connectivity of the region and in the light of the promotion of joint investments, namely in infrastructure, transport, energy and digitalisation. One of the objectives of the initiative is also to reduce th…

2021 Report on Montenegro (debate)

Watch

Madam President-in-Office, as a very important fact, I consider it an opportunity to highlight here today, in my first address, the importance of the European Union's enlargement policy. Montenegro's progress report is clear. We particularly welcome the country's commitment to European integration, but without respect for the rule of law, full implementation of electoral and judicial reforms and a…
