President concerned support for electoral reform insufficient

LJUBLJANA - President Borut Pahor expressed concern about insufficient support for electoral reform after 59 MPs submitted a legislative motion to scrap electoral districts in line with a landmark Constitutional Court decision, just shy of the requisite two-thirds majority. "In the event this proposal does not muster sufficient support, the question that will arise is how to proceed. It may well happen that we will witness the submission of new proposals that will not be adopted and time will run out for the implementation of the Constitutional Court decision," he said.

Friends of Cohesion oppose cohesion funding cuts

BEJA, Portugal - Friends of Cohesion, an informal group of EU members of which Slovenia is a part, called for a fair EU budget in the next seven-year period in which funding for cohesion should not be cut. "We need more Europe, not less, which is why we should stick to the proposal presented in the spring of 2018 by the European Commission," said Igor Mally, state secretary at the prime minister's office, who attended the summit on behalf of Prime Minister Marjan Šarec.
