STA, 16 April 2020 - The government on Thursday made early replacements of three members of the supervisory board of RTV Slovenija, the country's public broadcaster.
Matjaž Medved, Irena Ostrouška and Petra Majer were dismissed and are being replaced by Borut Rončević, Anton Tomažič and Drago Zadergal, the Government Communication Office announced.
Rončević is a professor at the Nova Gorica School of Advanced Social Studies and Anton Tomažič is a jurist who served as MP for the DEMOS coalition in the early 1990s
The government appoints four out of eleven members of the RTV Slovenija supervisory board.
One of the first tasks of the revamped board will be to vote on endorsement of the broadcaster's financial plan for the year.
Since the supervisors rejected the plan in December, the broadcaster's operations are being financed by means of provisional monthly budgets.
The broadcaster generated a loss of EUR 3.2 million last year, to be offset by surpluses from the past years.
