Weekly Review of Events Involving Slovenia, 8-14 Dec.

Ljubljana, 15 December - Less than three weeks before Slovenia assumes the EU's presidency, European leaders signed a reform treaty, which is to make the 27-nation bloc more effective. But before he signed the document in Lisbon, Prime Minister Janez Jansa apologised on behalf of Slovenia to those who suffered at the hands of the Communist regime. The biggest business news of the week is the successful listing of shares of Slovenia's second largest bank. The breaking news is that the competition watchdog launched infringement procedure against one of the biggest market players in the country.
