Minister Denies Rigging Funding for Ljubljana Sports Project

Ljubljana, 23 September - The opposition opened Thursday's debate on the motion to oust the minister of education and sport with the argument that Igor Luksic should go not because his ministry backed a Ljubljana sports project, but because it rigged a public call to award the money. Luksic retorted that the motion was based on prejudice, not facts.
