Slovenia may re-run referendum on recognising Palestine

The Slovenian Democratic Party has sent a new proposal to the Slovenian State Assembly (lower house of parliament) to hold a consultative referendum on the recognition of Palestine, thus preventing the scheduled vote on the issue.

The leading opposition force of the country sent the new referendum proposal right during the lower house of parliament's session on the recognition of Palestine, which was supposed to end with a vote, TASS reports, citing the Slovenian Press Agency.
