one member is appointed by the Italian national community
one member is appointed by the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts
two members are appointed by the President of the Republic on a proposal from registered religious communities
three members are directly elected by the employed of RTV Slovenia; they have to represent information programming , culture and arts programmes and the technical department of the organisation
five members are appointed by the National Assembly on a proposal from political parties, as closely as possible reflecting the proportional representation of the parties in the National Assembly,
sixteen members are appointed by the National Assembly on a proposal from the viewers and listeners of the programmes of RTV Slovenia; universities, faculties and associations, associations' unions and their organizations, particularly in the fields of art, culture, science and journalism, and other civil-society organisations, with the exception of political parties and their forms of organisation. Candidates' suitability and qualification are demonstrated with documents required in the body of the public call (Article 17). They have also to be from different regions.
Members of the Programme Council are appointed or elected as of the date of the signing of the decision on the appointment or the decision on the election, or upon the day of appointment in the National Assembly. Their mandate lasts for four years starting upon the day the Programme Council is constituted (Article 18). First half of them will be replaced after 2 years.
The rights and duties of the Programme Council are:
to adopt programme standards, programme concepts, programme-production plans and programme outlines on a proposal from the Director General;
to deal up-to-date with their realisation and with the viewers and listeners' comments and proposals.
to give consent to the statute of the public institution and an opinion to the proposal of the financial plan provided by the Director General and adopted by the Supervisory Board.
to appoint and relieve the Director General and provide prior consent as to the appointment and removal of radio and television directors.
The Supervisory Board consists of eleven members, five of which are appointed by the National Assembly, representing the proportional representation of political parties in the National Assembly; four are appointed by the Government and two are directly elected by the employed of RTV Slovenia (Article 26). The Supervisory Board is appointed for a period of four years and constituted together with the Programme Council.
The Supervisory Board adopts the statute on the basis of a prior consent by the Programme Council, adopts financial plans and annual reports and sets the fees for services not included in the public service.
The Director General manages the work of RTV Slovenia. He/She is elected by the Programme Council for a four-year mandate on the basis of a public call.
The Director General appoints – on the basis of a public call and given a prior consent from the Programme Council – the Director of Radio and TV, Deputy Director General for national programmes and other editors-in-chief (on a proposal from directors of radio and television). All these functions require prior public calls.
In case the directors of radio and television propose to the Director General to appoint as editor-in-chief a candidate that has not received a positive opinion from the majority of programme workers in the editorial office (the principle of workers' participation), this majority has the right to propose to the Director General a candidate who has received their positive opinion, and duly inform the Programme Council. Should this be the case, the Director General chooses a candidate after acquiring consent from the Programme Council (Article 21).
The Director General also appoints and relieves other senior executives determined by the statute.
