Parliament Passes 2014 Supplementary Budget

Ljubljana, 19 November - The National Assembly adopted on Wednesday a supplementary budget for 2014, which expands the deficit by almost EUR 200m to EUR 1.2bn. The government said it sought savings where possible and announced more far-reaching measures for 2015, while the opposition criticised the changes as a prelude to severe cuts next year.
