Drnovsek Meets Rumsfeld Already Ahead of His Visit to Slovenia

Prague, 22 November - "It is a good thing that the U.S. Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld is coming to Slovenia as this proves that close relations with the U.S. are continuing, which was already apparent from my brief meeting with President Bush on the sidelines of the NATO summit," said Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Drnovsek, who briefly met with Rumsfeld in Prague before Rumsfeld's scheduled visit to Slovenia on Saturday.
