Government law on Koper-Divača railway expansion upheld in repeat referendum

Ljubljana, 13 May - The law governing the financing of the railway upgrade between the Koper port and the inland hub Divača was upheld in the repeat referendum on Sunday. The opponents of the law failed to convince enough voters to meet the quorum requirement, while apparently narrowly winning the vote itself, according to near-final results.
