MPs Debate Petition for Abolishing Army

Ljubljana, 13 April - A lively debate was held Tuesday at the parliamentary Defence Committee about a petition launched by leftist weekly Mladina to abolish the army. Some of the proposals are very likable and kind, but they are also unrealistic and unprofessional, Defence Minister Ljubica Jelusic said.
