The Slovenian Democratic Party has called for the dismissal of the current Russian ambassador, saying that his past “degrades Slovenia’s reputation.” The opposition Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS – Slovenska Demokratska Stranka), led by the former Prime Minister Janez Janša, has demanded an emergency session of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee to discuss the appointment of Doku Zavgayev as ambassador. According to the SDS, he was involved in the war in Chechenya, where human rights were grossly violated. |
