The Higher Education Union will resume strike activities as the talks on its demands, presented last year, have not progressed since mid-March. Reproaching the government for ignoring demands for "pay injustices" to be eliminated, it said the strike would be held on 30 May, and continue in mid-June. The government thinks a strike is unjustified.

The convention on prosecution of atrocities, which is at the centre of talks at a two-week diplomatic conference in Ljubljana, would be a key milestone in international criminal law if adopted, Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon said on Monday.

The European Commission has upgraded its forecast for Slovenia's GDP growth from 1% to 1.2% for this year and from 2% to 2.2% for 2024. Meanwhile, inflation outlook in the Commission's spring economic forecast looks a bit grimmer than in the winter interim forecast, but inflation is projected to recede somewhat in 2024.

Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon and Justice Minister Dominika Švarc Pipan opened the diplomatic conference on prosecution of atrocities in Ljubljana on Monday confident that a convention on international cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes will be adopted.

Representatives of nearly 80 countries are expected in Ljubljana on Monday for a two-week conference to finalise what is considered to be the first key international treaty in prosecution of atrocities since the 1998 Rome Statute.
