Slovenia: New government vows to tear down controversial fence on border with Croatia

Her new government Slovenia promised that by the end of the year it will demolish the controversial fence along the country’s border with Croatian. The Ministry of Interior today confirmed the relevant planning to the Slovenian news agency STA.

THE construction of the fence took place in 2015, when thousands of refugees – many of them from Syria – were trying to reach Central Europe via the Balkans. His goal was to stop her wave illegal immigration.

The fence, which stretches 200 km along the border with Croatia (670 km), was criticized when many people were injured in the sharp barbed wire. In the meantime, there have been complaints from humanitarian organizations about the illegal repulsion of refugees and migrants by border guards.

The new Slovenian leadership, sworn in eight days ago, has vowed to tear down the fence in the wake of a governing coalition agreement. The government formed under Prime Minister Robert Golomb consists of the Liberal Freedom Movement, the Social Democrats and the Left.

In the future, the border between Slovenia and Croatia will be monitored by drones and camerasas provided for in the plans of the Golob government.
