Govt law upheld in repeat referendum, works on railway upgrade to start soon

Ljubljana, 13 May - Voters upheld the law governing the financing of the railway upgrade between the Koper port and the inland hub Divača in the repeat referendum on Sunday. The government will try to immediately kick-start the project, but the initiator of the referendum plans to appeal the result yet again in order to delay the law until after the election.
