Serious flaws found in contentious Ljubljana sewerage project
LJUBLJANA - An audit conducted by the Environment Ministry has found serious shortcomings in approval procedures for a stretch of an EU-subsidised sewerage project that some say could jeopardise the source of drinking water for 300,000 residents of Slovenia's capital. The audit report, released by the environmental organisation Alpe Adria Green on Friday, finds that the Ljubljana city authorities obtained the development permit and necessary environmental consents for the C0 waste water collection channel before an environmental impact assessment procedure had been conducted.
Arrest warrant issued for militia leader
LJUBLJANA - An arrest warrant has been issued for Andrej Šiško, the self-styled leader of a militia that should have reported to prison to serve out his sentence for incitement to subversion of the constitutional order. Šiško, the leader of the militia that call themselves Štajerska Guarda, was sentenced to eight months in prison in March and has served most of his time on remand. He is wanted since Thursday.
Philharmonic director faces dismissal
LJUBLJANA - Culture Minister Zoran Poznič has formally launched the procedure to dismiss Marjetica Mahne as director of the Slovenian Philharmonic, after barely two years on the job, according to the newspaper Dnevnik. The paper reports that the minister notified Mahnič of her early dismissal in a letter on Thursday, unofficially due to violation of several pieces of legislation and the Philharmonic's financial shape, all of which Mahne denies.
Christmas strike at Terme Maribor called off
MARIBOR - A strike planned at hotels operated by Terme Maribor in and around Maribor for the Christmas and New Year holidays was called off after the management agreed to raise wages. Under the deal, the lowest base pay will be adjusted to the consumer price growth for up to 2% a year. The rule is to be set down in the company collective bargaining agreement. Terme Maribor is owned by MB Dailyrates Management Limited, a Cyprus-based undertaking.
More than half of Slovenians on private trips in Q3
LJUBLJANA - Over half of Slovenia's population took at least one private trip in the third quarter of the year. Seven out of ten trips were abroad, of which three out of four to Croatia, data from the Statistic Office show. Roughly 922,000 Slovenian residents or 52% of the population aged 15 or more were away on at least one private trip between July and September, making a total of 1.78 million trips. On average, Slovenians stayed 5.9 nights on a trip and spent on average EUR 43 a day.
