Večer (English: Evening) is a daily newspaper published in Maribor, Slovenia.[1] History and profileVečer was officially established on 9 May 1945 as a publication declaring the liberation of Maribor called Maribor svoboden (English: Maribor Free). Regular circulation started on 25 May 1945 under the name Vestnik. But it was not before 1949 that it became a daily newspaper. In 1952, the newspaper was renamed Večer.[2] Slovenia's major newspaper company Delo, d.d. holds almost 80% of shares of Večer. In June 2010, the company attempted to sell its 79.24% stake to a small IT company, 3Lan, based in Murska Sobota.[3] The sale was ordered by the competition watchdog to reduce its majority in the paper.[3][4] However, the proposal of the IT company was not accepted by the ministry of culture.[4] The circulation of Večer was 62,000 copies in 2003.[5] Its 2007 circulation was 53,500 copies, making it the fourth most read daily in the country.[6] As of 2013 it was the third largest daily newspaper in Slovenia (not counting tabloids) with a circulation of about 130.000 copies daily.[7] There are several weekly supplements and separate editions published by Večer:
