Slovenian voters reject waters act in referendum

Ljubljana, 11 July - Slovenian voters appear to have overwhelmingly rejected the new waters act in a referendum on Sunday. More than 86% voted against, according to preliminary results, a share that has held steady since counting began. The statutory requirement that at least 20% of all voters must be against for a law to be rejected has been satisfied as well.
