Slovenia on Wednesday received another group of 14 asylum seekers from Greece as part of the European Union (EU)-sponsored relocation scheme, the Interior Ministry said.
The group, consisting of 12 Syrians and two Iraqis, have been brought by bus to the asylum centre in the Ljubljana Vic borough, where their asylum requests will be processed.
Excluding the latest arrangement, Slovenia had accepted 61 migrants under the relocation plan, 15 Eritreans had been relocated from Italy and 31 Syrians and 15 Iraqis from Greece.

In addition, Slovenian government promised to permanently resettle 60 more refugees in its country, including 40 Syrian refugees who are currently in Turkey.
