Slovenia prepared for possible surge in migrations

LJUBLJANA - Slovenian authorities said they were prepared for a possible increase in migrations after Turkey decided to open its borders with Greece. "We are ready for a possible increase in illegal crossings of the national border. We have a variety of activities and measures available that we will adjust to the situation on the ground," the Interior Ministry said Saturday evening. It said it was monitoring the situation and exchanging information with countries in the region.

Slovenia remains without confirmed coronavirus cases

LJUBLJANA - There were no confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in Slovenia by Sunday evening, but given that the virus has been spreading east from Italy in recent days, Slovenian authorities acknowledged the first confirmed case is imminent. Just over 200 tests have conducted so far and all of them have been negative, but "the first confirmation of infection is just a matter of time," the government said.

Criminal complaints filed in connection with Friday's protest

LJUBLJANA - At least two criminal complaints have been filed in connection with a recent protest that targeted the incoming coalition. One criminal complaint was filed on behalf of the organisers against an unknown person who shouted "Kill Janša" in the crowd. The other was filed against SDS MP Zvonko Černač, who reposted a post on Twitter that the organisers say was hateful.
