Ljubljana, 23 February
The government approved on Thursday the signing of the Council of Europe convention on action against trafficking in human beings, a document which complements the UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime.
The new convention determines that victims should be given temporary residence permits if they will be in danger when returned to their country, or if they have to help with a prosecution.
It also guarantees trafficked people a breathing period of at least 30 days during which they can receive support such as housing.
The government moreover decided to sign an agreement with the government of Italy on film co-production, which is to facilitate procedures and give joint projects a better chance to qualify for EU funding.
