PM says Slovenia has no money to compensate 'erased' non-Slovenians

Autor: half
LJUBLJANA, June 28 (Hina) - Prime Minister Janez Jansa said on Thursday Slovenia did not have the money to compensate "erased" non-Slovenians whom it declared foreigners without nationality when it declared independence.

"The state doesn't have the resources even for the basic needs, so we don't know how we will make the budget policy in the next two years," he told reporters in Brussels.

He was asked to comment on a judgment by the European Court of Human Rights, which found that non-Slovenians from the former Yugoslav republics who did not apply for or were not granted Slovenian citizenship in 1991, so they were erased from the population register, losing all social and labour rights, are entitled to damages and that the Slovenian government must regulate the matter within one year.

Jansa said he could not comment on the judgement because relevant Slovenian institutions were examining it.

According to Amnesty International Slovenia's data in late February, released on the 20th anniversary of the "erasing" of more than 25,000 non-Slovenians, 13,000 still have no status and live in poverty.
