The discussions between the two Ministers also focused on the issue of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and exchanged views on how to manage the Ukrainian refugees. Both pointed out that the European Commission should immediately provide financial support to Member States to enable them to manage the refugee flows.
The two Ministers visited the Lokatets accommodation centre[/B] set up by the Ukrainian government for the temporary accommodation of Ukrainian refugees.
Nouris said that in Lokatec the Slovenian government welcomes Ukrainian refugees and offers, like all of us, maximum assistance in addressing this huge humanitarian problem. He added that the numbers are such that the Slovenian government is able to have a good management of these people, since 400 Ukrainian refugees are hosted in this centre.
The Slovenian Interior Minister expressed his confidence that his country has managed to welcome those who fled the war and express its solidarity. But unfortunately we have to say that during the last weeks the numbers of Ukrainians arriving in our country have increased a lot and we really hope that the war will end as soon as possible, he said.
