Abstract
An essential foundation of a democratic and pluralistic society is the freedom of expression. It allows individuals to express their personality in society and gives the public the opportunity to form opinions by establishing and maintaining reliable and impartial information. The media has an important role in this and must be careful that its reporting represents a contribution to a debate of general interest. This article presents three recent decisions, namely by the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of European Union and the Slovenian Constitutional Court dealing with the right of expression.
Key words
