Alright, I did a little bit of digging for this.

I could not find any mention of this family besides the links provided here and reposts of those on various blogs, plus they usually talk about other cases on the page such as Natalee Holloway.
Slovenia doesn't have a great missing persons page, but I found one that is pretty bare, not a lot of cases registered, you can't search them, and no one from the family is on it anyway.
Another page mentions that the mother was apparently a well-respected artist, however googling her name doesn't show anything.

Next, I want to talk about names and how I think some are probably misspelled.
"Labouovic" is a new one for me, I've never heard of it and I find it a bit weird to pronounce, but I could also be encountering it for the first time. Googling the name always corrects it to "Labudović" which is much more common. Another similar surmane is "Labović".
The sons' names, Igore and Evonne - both are weird. "Igor" is the normal way of spelling it, unique spellings of common names isn't really something Slovenians do, at least from what I know. As for Evonne, from the way you'd pronounce it in English I believe his name should be "Ivan". That would make the sons Igor and Ivan both of which are more common names.
Still, with all that nothing about them comes up. I know that if someone from my country went missing abroad it would be reported. It's unusal that there's nothing, even for the anniversary of the disappearance.

Bumping case up. There doesn't seem to be any articles online about the case. How very sad that this family went missing.
