Request for advisory opinion accepted
12/05/26
The Court has accepted a request from Slovenia’s Supreme Court for an advisory opinion concerning landowners’ property rights in relation to the construction of national roads.
The Supreme Court has asked the Court to provide guidance on whether allowing the issuance of a building permit and the construction of a motorway without first expropriating the affected land constitutes an unjustified interference with the landowners’ property rights, as protected by Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention and Article 33 of the Constitution of Slovenia.
