📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Culture submitted a proposal for amendments and additions to the Act on Radio and Television Slovenia for public consideration. The proposal is published on the eDemokracia portal and will be publicly discussed until September 9. You are welcome to submit your opinions, suggestions and comments.The proposal for an amendment to the Act on Radio and Television Slovenia stems from the need to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the public institution in a challenging financial situation. The aim of the proposed changes is to create an organizational structure that will enable the smooth implementation of the public service in the current scope, preserve the editorial independence of RTV Slovenia and at the same time ensure rational, economical and responsible management of the institution.
The amendment therefore more clearly delimits the responsibilities between program management, management and control: the Council of RTV Slovenia is transformed into the Program Council, which focuses on program and development content, the implementation of program standards and the protection of the public interest and program mission, while business and financial management are separated from program decision-making. The four-member board is replaced by the general director as a single management body, the Supervisory Board is re-established with a stronger emphasis on professional competences, and the Program Board maintains an important role in protecting the independence and public mission of RTV Slovenia. The proposed solutions are aimed at clearer responsibility, more efficient decision-making and better control over operations, while preserving the public service and editorial autonomy.
The amendment also regulates the field of archival material and preserves the financing of ethnic programs and music production from the state budget, whereby the amount of funds is adjusted to actual needs and budgetary possibilities.
The fundamental goal of the amendment is to ensure an independent, efficient and financially sustainable public radio and television, which will be able to fulfill its public mission in the long term and with high quality.
