Defence Minister Matej Tonin announced that some ten refugees from Ukraine had already arrived in the country, and the company Esotech said that two families of its workers who were building a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Zhytomyr had been accommodated in a hotel in Velenje.
Esotech chairman Marko Škoberne told the STA that the families included two children, aged one year and a half, and two years. All but one parliamentary party welcomed Slovenia’s offer to accept Ukrainian refugees, although there was some scepticism whether the country has the capacity or would even need to take in between 180,000 and 200,000 as suggested by Interior Minister Aleš Hojs.
