MEPs criticise Slovenia on media attacks
By EUobserver
MEPs have criticised the Slovenian government over its "attacks, smear campaigns, and slander" against journalists, saying it had created a "climate of hostility, distrust and deep polarisation". Thursday's non-binding resolution did not mention prime minister Janez Janša, who has personally insulted reporters on social media. But it was an embarrassment for his country in the last days of its EU presidency.
