Prime Minister Pahor takes questions from parliamentary deputies

At the 29th regular session of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, Borut Pahor, answered questions posed by the deputies. Three opposition deputies, Jakob Presečnik (SLS), Bogdan Barovič (SNS), and Joško Godec (DeSUS), and a deputy of the ruling coalition, Dušan Kumer (SD), addressed questions to the Prime Minister.

   

With respect to the Government's programme of work until the end of its regular term, deputy Jakob Presečnik asked the Prime Minister what the Government planned to do for the country in its final year in order to secure a brighter and more prosperous future for Slovenian citizens. The SNS deputy, Bogdan Barovič, raised two questions about the closure of Chapter 13 – Fisheries in negotiations with Croatia: did the coalition government provide a proper response by suspending the Agreement on Border Traffic and Cooperation, a part of Slovenia's legal order in force, and was the closure of Chapter 13 harmonised and agreed with Slovenian fishermen? A question on the Government's actions in the aftermath of the negative outcome of the referendum on the pension reform, and a question concerning the presentation of austerity measures were asked by Joško Godec from DeSUS. The SD deputy, Dušan Kumer, asked the Prime Minister about the future development of Slovenia in light of the economic, social and security situation in Slovenia and the world.
