Slovenia is weighing recognising a Palestinian state, UN ambassador says: Report

Slovenia is weighing whether to join other European countries in recognising a Palestinian state, the country’s ambassador to the UN, told Al Jazeera.

Slovenia’s ambassador, Samuel Zbogar, said the country will finalise its internal decision by 13 June but wanted to contribute to the “momentum”.

“We want to create a momentum which was created this morning by three countries. [We] want to continue that momentum and in that way to help stabilise the situation on the ground, as well as creating momentum for a two-state solution, which is now somehow on the shelf,” he said.
