Borut Rončević noted that some would prefer that the Slovenian minister travel to the science and technology forum in Japan with a family member and at their own expense. He emphasized that he actively represented Slovenia in Japan and traveled in accordance with applicable regulations, just like his predecessor Igor Papič, who attended the forum three times, and the rector of the University of Ljubljana, Gregor Majdič, with whom he was on the same trip. He stated that the airline tickets were purchased through a public procurement process. He added that representatives of the Slovenian government have been attending the STS forum for many years. At the 13th forum in 2016, according to him, the then Prime Minister Miro Cerar participated, and in the following years, several ministers and state secretaries responsible for science have attended the event. Rončević believed that Slovenia must be present in shaping key directions of global science and technology and announced that the reform will be carried out and that there will be no concessions. #Slovenija #znanost #tehnologija (translated)

Michał Sopiński informed that on October 13, he submitted a notification to the prosecutor's office regarding suspicions of crimes committed by Sławomir Cudak. He referred to Article 304 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and indicated that Cudak's actions should be assessed, among others, based on Article 231 § 1 and Article 227 of the Penal Code. Sopiński accused Cudak of preventing Dr. Zbigniew Nowacki, a professor at AWS, from participating in the meetings of the Senate of the Academy of Justice on September 24 and October 13, 2026. According to the author, Nowacki was elected to the Senate on September 11, and after a vacancy arose on September 21, he was the oldest member and was entitled to perform the associated duties. Sopiński described the meeting called at noon as illegal. The author claimed that Cudak wanted to cover up earlier unlawful actions in this way and seek the position of rector-commandant. He also wrote that the day before, Cudak had dismissed Dr. Katarzyna Adamiak in a disciplinary manner, whom Sopiński referred to as his main opponent. The announced elections were described as a political farce, asserting that they were to be held in the presence of individuals he derogatorily described as Cudak's supporters, and under the observation of Żurek and Ejchart. #sprawiedliwość #prawo #akademia (translated)
