Slovenia's interior and justice ministers resigned following the fatal beating of a man by a 21-year-old suspect of Roma background outside a nightclub in Novo Mesto, as Prime Minister Robert Golob warned against inciting ethnic hatred while promising "serious" measures in response.
Interior Minister Boštjan Poklukar and Justice Minister Andreja Katič submitted resignations that Golob accepted, with both citing "objective responsibility" for deteriorating security in southeastern Slovenia, where violence involving the Roma minority has recently escalated.
