📋 Tender Overview
People have resolutely shown that they want the withdrawal of party politics from our largest media and cultural institution which must be independent and autonomous said Minister Dr. Asta Vreko.At the same time the minister dr. Asta Vreko added This is what the government promised at the beginning of its mandate and now citizens have also confirmed it in the referendum. I would like to thank everyone who went to the polls and voted for our law. I also want to thank civil society which pointed out the importance and role of RTV Slovenia and last but not least to all RTV employees who are under pressure but who nevertheless persist and point out the unacceptable happenings at RTV.After almost twenty years we will get a new Law on RTV Slovenia which was approved by the National Assembly in July but now also received support in the referendum.The Act on RTV Slovenia in force until now allowed party politicians to directly appoint members to management bodies. The amendment to the law approved in the referendum enforces a single management and control body the so-called Council of RTV Slovenia which removes politics from our largest media and cultural institution. According to the new law the members of the single Council of RTV Slovenia will be appointed by employees representatives of the profession and civil society.The current function of the general director will be replaced by a four-member board which is a more suitable management model in view of technological changes and the existing media and communication environment. The current directors of radio and television are being joined by the director of digital content which will enable a more equal and time-appropriate position for new media activities. A labor director will also be included in the four-member board.
