Ljubljana, 16 May - The Slovenian government adopted a convergence programme, which will be one of the key elements in deciding about Slovenia's admission to the European Exchange Rate Mechanism II (ERM II) and subsequently to the euro-zone. The document had to be submitted to the European Commission by 15 May. Also in the news this week was the launch of Lek's production plant in Poland.
