Weekly Review of Events Involving Slovenia from 11 to 17 November

Ljubljana, 18 November - The relocation of a Roma family from their home under pressure from locals continued to make headlines in Slovenia as CoE Human Rights Commissioner Thomas Hammerberg concluded his visit to the country by calling the move "unacceptable". The run-off of the local elections produced a number of surprises, among others a nail-bitting race in Izola where the incumbent mayor won by a margin of only two votes. On the foreign policy front, PM Janez Jansa drew attention by making a stop in Iraq during a trip to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
