Slovenia opposition files motion delaying Palestinian state recognition

Slovenia’s conservative opposition files a motion that delays the country’s recognition of a Palestinian state, a parliamentary spokeswoman says, following last month’s recognition by Spain, Ireland and Norway.

The Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) led by former prime minister Janez Jansa has filed a proposal to hold an advisory referendum on the decree for the recognition, the spokeswoman tells AFP. The proposal effectively delays the vote scheduled for Tuesday by some 30 days.
