The parliament arrived at this conclusion on late Monday evening after it discussed the matter for eight hours.
The discussion was moved by the left-of-centre Opposition which insisted that the Janez Jansa cabinet revoke its decision to send the four Slovene instructors to Iraq.
At the start of the parliamentary debate, Prime Minister Janez Jansa said that the United Nations had greenlighted the operation of training Iraqi Army members, and that Slovenia would the last NATO member-state to join in the operation. In this way, Slovenia gives its contribution to counter asymmetric threats which will be the main security problem in the next 10 years, the Slovene premier said.
The Slovene instructors will fly to Iraq at the end of this month and will remain there six months.
