Ljubljana, 4 July - Protests from cultural organisations against a draft supplementary budget continue as a 7,000-strong petition was handed to the government on Monday. Cultural representatives urge the government not to endorse the proposed cut of EUR 38m, saying this was proportionally unfair compared to other areas.
