Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar has faced a series of administrative and political challenges. An audit by the Court of Auditors regarding the 2024 operations of the President’s Office revealed several irregularities, including breaches of statutes, incorrect salary calculations, and problematic procurement practices. The audit specifically noted issues such as unauthorized overtime, improper pay-grade assignments, and a lack of security clearance for a senior official accessing EU classified data. Following these findings, ~~the President~~ Pirc Musar faced ~~further~~ scrutiny after a motorway accident in the Kastelec tunnel on July 31. ~~Pirc Musar~~ The President sustained a fractured collarbone in the collision and admitted she was not wearing a seatbelt. The incident was referred to the Specialised State Prosecutor’s Office on suspicion of negligence involving the police officer driving the vehicle. The accident also triggered controversy regarding the presence of a dual Russian-Slovenian citizen, Victoria Krivolutskaya, in the vehicle, leading to questions about security risks and the transparency of information released by the President’s office. Pirc Musar defended the presence of her passenger, noting that Krivolutskaya underwent required security checks and that their friendship has lasted nearly two decades. Investigations by APA and Dnevnik have intensified scrutiny regarding Pirc Musar’s ties to Russia. Reports indicate she traveled to Russia on multiple occasions, including a trip from Ljubljana to Moscow via Aeroflot on December 26, 2021. New findings suggest she traveled to Russia at least seven times since 2015 with Krivolutskaya. Controversy has grown due to Krivolutskaya’s past relationship with Roman Jeglič, a former high-ranking official in the Slovenian intelligence service (VIS), and records indicating the pair shared an address in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, in 2009. While the intelligence agency SOVA stated Krivolutskaya passed security checks, political figures have called for investigations into potential ties to Russian intelligence networks.
