The Slovenian government is repaying thousands of fines issued to citizens who broke masking and social distancing orders during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Passed in September, the bill was explicitly framed by the current justice minister, Dominika Å varc Pipan, as an effort to make up for the excesses of pandemic policing under the previous government - or as she put it, "the injustices that were committed against citizens through the abuse of criminal law and unconstitutional and excessive encroachment on human rights".
