Please note that the SAB abstained from the committee vote, rather than endorsed the motion as wrongly stated in paragraph 3 of Thursday's copy. Below is the corrected version.

Ljubljana, 2 April - The parliamentary Defence Committee rejected Wednesday night a motion to give the Slovenian Armed Forces limited police powers to control the border that the government said was essential to help relieve the burden on police officers so they can better be deployed to help keep the coronavirus epidemic in check.
