The Muslim community registered a complaint with the ombudsman during the year because RTV Slovenia refused to allow them free airtime to address their community during Ramadan - a privilege granted to the Catholic, Serb Orthodox, and Protestant communities during their respective religious holidays. The ombudsman pursued the complaint with TV Slovenia, which agreed to grant airtime to the Muslim community for this purpose in 2002.
The US Department of State also reported on the matter in its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.
