Slovenian voters have voted overwhelming in favour of amendments to legislation on the governance of the public broadcaster RTVS.
In a referendum, about 440,000, or 62.73%, supported the amendments and about 260,000, or 32.27%, were against.
As previously reported by Broadband TV News, the amendments are seen by the government, headed by Prime Minister Robert Golob, as necessary to de-politicise RTVS.
However, they are opposed by the opposition SDS, which pushed for the referendum and two others unrelated to broadcasting.
Broadband TV News notes that the result of the referendum on RTVS has been broadly welcomed by its employees.
