Minister Expects Tough Debate about Greece in Slovenia

Brussels, 13 November - Finance Minister Janez Šušteršič expects a "tough" debate in Slovenia as Greece is likely to need an additional EUR 33bn as part of the international bailout package. It remains open how the extra funds would be secured, and it will depend on the answer to this question whether the Slovenian parliament will need to have its say.
