Slovenia demands investigation into Israeli company Black Cube's interference in elections
Kyiv • UNN
Prime Minister Robert Golob called on the EU to investigate illegal surveillance of politicians by private intelligence. The interference was called a hybrid threat to the entire bloc.
Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob has called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to investigate allegations of interference by the Israeli intelligence company "Black Cube" in the country's election campaign. This is reported by UNN with reference to Politico.
Details
Agents of the company "Black Cube" are accused of "illegal surveillance" after published recordings caused a scandal in the election campaign ahead of the March 22 vote.
As Robert Golob noted, the interference of a foreign private company poses a clear hybrid threat to the European Union and its member states, negatively affecting or potentially endangering our common values, procedures, and political processes.
I call on the Commission to investigate these reports and refer the case to the European Centre for Democratic Resilience for an immediate threat assessment
Recall
In August 2025, Slovenia banned the import, export, and transit of weapons to and from Israel. This decision has symbolic significance due to the almost zero volume of arms trade between the countries.
