Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar faces scrutiny over Russian ties
Investigations by the Austrian Press Agency (APA) and Slovenian media have revealed close ties between Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar and a Russian national, Viktorija Krivolucka. Krivolucka, who was a passenger in the President's vehicle during a recent traffic accident, has reportedly hosted the President during multiple trips to Russia between 2015 and 2022.
Reports further link Krivolucka to Roman Jeglič, a former deputy director of the Slovenian intelligence service (VIS) with a controversial past involving the arrest of former Prime Minister Janez Janša. Jeglič later moved to Russia.
The Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency (SOVA) is expected to brief the parliamentary commission on potential foreign influence, specifically from Russia and Israel, regarding national sovereignty and security. These revelations have sparked intense political debate and scrutiny regarding the President's connections to Russian interests.
