  • Slovenian media reported that parliamentary president Zoran Stevanović was definitively convicted at least three times, including in a 2011 fraud case.
  • According to the published ruling, he borrowed 2,500 euros, offered a woman a car he did not own as security, and received a six-month suspended sentence.
  • Stevanović’s office said he would not comment on old, closed and expunged cases unrelated to his political work, adding that no criminal proceedings are pending against him.

A published court ruling has shed new light on the criminal record of Zoran Stevanović, Slovenia’s parliamentary president. Television station Pop TV, citing findings by journalist Miran Šubic of the Kranj-based outlet Trma.si, reported that Stevanović has been definitively convicted at least three times.

The report focused on a fraud conviction dating from 2011. According to the ruling, Stevanović asked a woman in April 2008 to lend him 2,500 euros until September that year. As security, he offered a car that did not belong to him. He failed to repay the money, and the woman sought legal help.

The Kranj District Court ultimately found him guilty. The sentence was six months in prison, suspended on the condition that he commit no new criminal offense for three years. He was also required to return the money to the woman within one year of the judgment becoming final.

The report said Stevanović was convicted in 2010 and appealed. The judgment became final the following year. At the time, he was a police officer. He is now president of the National Assembly.

Stevanović’s office declined to comment on what it described as "old, concluded and expunged cases that are not connected to his political activity." The office also emphasized that Stevanović can provide a certificate showing no criminal record at any time and that no criminal proceedings are currently pending against him.
