Šarec rejects blame for suspended social dialogue, says 4K Invest trying to milk state

LJUBLJANA - Commenting in a Facebook post on the employer representatives-initiated suspension of the work of the Social and Economic Council (ESS), PM Marjan Šarec rejected any government responsibility, arguing the Left, which filed the bills bothering employers, was an opposition party. Šarec, who added he remained committed to social dialouge, also commented on Adria Airways, saying its German owner 4K Invest maltreated it, but adding the carrier had also had problems before. It would not be fair to only blame the former government, which sold Adria in 2016 to an owner who "treats it like dirt" and obviously perceives the state as a dairy cow "that needs to be milked for every cent that can be squeezed out and then taken nobody knows where".

Slovenia win another EuroVolley silver as they lose to Serbia

PARIS, France - The Slovenian men's national volleyball team won another silver at the European Championship after losing the final match to Serbia 1:3. After making an improbable run in Ljubljana, beating the European champions Russia and world champions Poland in the process, Slovenia had to concede to Serbia even though they won the first set. It was a complete turnaround for Serbia, who eliminated the home team France in the semi-finals in an epic battle which lasted five sets, and then beat Slovenia for their third gold at the European championships, coming after the wins in 2001 and 2011. The team will be welcomed home on Monday together with cyclists Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar at Ljubljana's Congress Square.

Dewesoft going strong

TRBOVLJE - Dewesoft, one of Slovenia's leading tech firms, generated EUR 19.1 million in sales revenue in 2018, a 6.4% increase on the year before. Net profit was up by one million to exceed EUR 5 million, shows the company's business report. The Trbovlje-based company, which employs a 75-strong workforce, is best known as a manufacturer of cutting-edge test and measuring equipment. It expects this year's revenue to reach around EUR 25 million, meaning 30% more than last year.
