The parliamentary Foreign Policy Committee confirmed a bill ratifying the agreement between Slovenia and the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) for the purchase of 45 eight-wheeled Boxer armoured personnel carries (APCs).

The vote in which nine MPs voted for and four against followed a debate in which Defence Ministry State Secretary Uroš Lampret said the final price was not yet known but it would not exceed EUR 410 million in any case.
