The Austria Press Agency (APA) reported yesterday that Vienna has decided to continue its current border check regime with Slovenia and Hungary for at least another six months. 

STA, 22 August 2018 - Two unselected bidders for the construction of the Slovenian section of the second tube of the Karavanke motorway tunnel between Slovenia and Austria have filed for a review of the pick of a Turkish contractor for the job. This will effectively delay the start of the work by at least a few months. 

The memory of 2015 still runs deep. 

After Germany’s decision to set up migrant centres on its border with Austria, and Austria’s decision to strengthen its borders with Italy and Slovenia, several Slovenian newspapers commented on the situation. 

STA, 26 June 2018 - Outgoing Prime Minister Miro Cerar labelled a major border protection exercise carried out by the Austrian police and army along the Slovenian border on Tuesday "somewhat provocative". 

STA, 16 June 2018 - Austria has deferred a major border patrol exercise planned at its border with Slovenia by a day until after Slovenian Statehood Day, observed on 25 June, in wake of protests from Slovenia, according to Austrian media. 

STA, 11 June 2018 - The Slovenian police have expressed disagreement with a major anti-migration military and police exercise planned by Austria on the Slovenian border on 25 June, Slovenian Statehood Day. Interior Minister Vesna Györkös Žnidar spoke of "Austria's internal political issues that should not be spilling over to Slovenia". 

STA, 12 May 2018 - Tourists from Central and Eastern Europe joining in on mass migrations to Croatia through Slovenia will only have to endure the bottlenecks at Gruškovje in NE one more time, because motorway company DARS expects the final section of the motorway between Ptuj and the border crossing to be complete by autumn.
