Janša Expects Patria Verdict to be Quashed

Ljubljana, 19 March - Former Prime Minister Janez Janša suggested the decision in the appeals against the guilty verdict in the Patria bribery trial would be protracted to be as close to the EU elections as possible, as the hearing at the Higher Court ended without a decision on Wednesday. But he was confident the verdict would be quashed.
