Slovenia Marks 30th Anniversary Of Independence
Slovenia marked 30 years of independence on Friday with an official state ceremony, attended by the leaders of neighbouring Hungary, Austria, and Croatia.
Thousands of protesters gathered nearby, opposed to Slovenian right-wing Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
Critics have accused Jansa of assuming increasingly authoritarian ways similar to those of his ally, Hungary s hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Slovenia is set to assume the European Union presidency in July.
