Erjavec Tells EU Colleagues Collapse of Govt Unlikely

Brussels, 19 November - Defence Minister Karl Erjavec reassured his EU colleagues at a ministerial in Brussels on Monday that the Slovenian government "was very unlikely to be ousted today". A collapse of the government would have "very negative consequences", not only for the reputation of Slovenia, but for the entire Western Balkans where the situation is getting increasingly tense, Erjavec told the press.
