Slovenian Parliament Speaker Proposes NATO Exit Amidst Russian Influence Concerns
Newly appointed Slovenian parliament speaker Zoran Stevanović has announced plans to hold a referendum on the country’s potential withdrawal from NATO, fulfilling a campaign promise. Stevanović, leader of the Truth Party, advocates for a more independent foreign policy, emphasizing that Ljubljana should be Slovenia’s center of decision-making rather than Brussels. Beyond NATO, his party also intends to pursue a referendum on leaving the World Health Organization and generally avoid foreign military and diplomatic entanglements that do not serve Slovenia’s interests.
