Slovenia: Unionized farmers cancel protest in Ljubljana planned for March 19 /update 1

Unionized farmers announced on March 18 that they were canceling a planned March 19 demonstration in Ljubljana. The purpose of the demonstration was to demand several concessions from government officials, including reductions in taxes and fees. The decision came after organizers signed an agreement in which the government pledged to address farmers' policy concerns. Further protests are possible if the farmers perceive the government's implementation of the agreement as unsatisfactory.
