MPs Still Debating Motion to Oust Finance Minister Čufer

Ljubljana, 20 November - MPs are still debating the opposition-sponsored motion to oust Finance Minister Uroš Čufer over the controlled winding down of two small private banks and the dismissal of an opposition MP from the bad bank. Given that coalition has strong majority in parliament, he is expected to survive the vote on the motion, scheduled for early on Thursday.
