Commission Chair Demands Answers over Security Agency

Ljubljana, 23 March - Davorin Tercon, the chair of the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Services Oversight Commission, expressed his regret on Friday over the failure of government officials to make it to today's session of the commission.
