The movement of people is currently restricted or prohibited in Ljubljana, Bled, and around the Brdo pri Kranju conference center.

The protests come ahead of tonight's informal dinner of EU leaders at Brdo pri Kranju and tomorrow’s EU-Western Balkans summit.

Also attending tonight's dinner by EU leaders is outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who was today awarded the Order of Merit for Distinguished Service, Slovenia's top honor for her personal contribution to deepening relations between Slovenia and Germany on all levels and for her credible European leadership.
