Source-derived summary

Telekom Slovenije d.d. (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈtéːlɛkɔm slɔˈʋèːnijɛ], "Telecom of Slovenia") is a telecommunications company based in Slovenia, with its headquarters in Ljubljana.

History

In 1994 PTT Slovenija separated postal and telecommunication activities and transferred all telecommunication infrastructure to the newly founded Telekom Slovenije.

On August 31, 2013, it was announced that the Slovenian state intends to sell its 73 percent stake in Telekom Slovenije.

Slovenian Telekom owned and operated the TV channel Planet TV. In 2020 the channel was sold to the Hungarian media group TV2 Csoport owned by József Vida. Vida is close to the Hungarian ruling party Fidesz, which in turn has close political alliances with Prime Minister Janez Janša and the Serbian government led by Aleksandar Vučić. The sale to the Hungarians was also controversial because the media company United Group had submitted a better offer. United Group operates i.a. with channel N1 for Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, one of the few independent news channels in the region.

International operations

Telekom Slovenije, d.d., the parent company, is part of the Telekom Slovenije Group, which also comprises subsidiaries based in Slovenia and Southeast Europe.

Editorial summary

“Telekom Slovenije” enters the record as slovenian telecommunications company. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Telekom, Slovenije and Slovenian can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 2013, 2020—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1995-01-03, 1995—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Telekom, Slovenije and Slovenian.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Telekom Slovenije” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Telekom, Slovenije and Slovenian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1335433. VIAF identifies the subject as 126557922. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2013 and 2020.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
