Weekly Review of Events Involving Slovenia from 18 to 24 November

Ljubljana, 25 November - Labour, Family and Social Affairs Minister Janez Drobnic and PM Janez Jansa became locked in a battle, after the minister refused to heed the PM's request to resign, taking the spotlight from the temporarily relocated Strojan Roma family. The parties were somewhat surprised by President Janez Drnovsek nominating a relatively unknown psychiatrist Zdenka Cebasek-Travnik as the new human rights ombudsman, while Jansa also visited Finland and met the president of the Slovenian Roma Association.
