Interior Ministry welcomes Italy's plans for stricter border control

Ljubljana, 5 August - The Interior Ministry has welcomed Italy's decision to send an additional contingent of soldiers to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region to help monitor the border with Slovenia due to an increase in illegal migrations. "Every additional measure on any side of the border is welcome, as this can reduce the appeal of a migration route," it said.
