Novo Mesto – Author Franci Novak received the award for the best collection of short stories at the Novo Mesto Short festival on Friday evening. He won the accolade for his work Obvoz (Detour).

Published by LUD Literatura last year, Obvoz is a collection imbued with lyrical prose whose author’s voice is distinctive and without any detours, said the jury.

Ljubljana – The Slovenian Association of State Prosecutors has turned to the Council of Europe (CoE) to complain about “inadmissible pressure” that they say Prime Minister Janez Janša and media that he controls are exerting on prosecutors.
