 　　斯洛文尼亚军方警方抱怨预算削减

　　LJUBLJANA, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Slovenia's military and police authorities have frowned upon the government-sponsored supplementary¹ budget for 2014 that will remarkably² decrease funds for the Armed Forces and police.

　　The 2014 draft supplementary budget earmarks 267.4 million euros (361.0 million U.S. dollars) for the Armed Forces, while the initial document planned 301 million euros.

　　The budget cuts will be a problem, Slovenian Press Agency quoted an unidentified representative as saying a day after the details of the budget document was revealed.

　　The planned budget cuts will mainly affect the department of human resources, and, among others, the planned operations and military training.

　　Prior to that of the latest, cuts in funds for the Armed Forces over the past five years have amounted to 300 million euros by April, which equals to the annual budget of the Armed Forces, according to Slovenian Defence Minister Roman Jakic.

　　The Slovenian Armed Forces with some 7300 troops reportedly spend 76 percent of its budget funds on salaries, 21 percent on equipment maintenance and only 3 percent on investments.

　　In addition to the military's complaint about budget cuts, police authorities in the country also disagree to cuts in 2014 budget plan, saying that the government's decision will affect the implementation³ of non-essential tasks.

　　Due to the budget cuts, the police will postpone⁴ further its plan to renew equipment and upgrade operational capacities, an unidentified police source was quoted as saying.

　　The average age of police vehicles is reportedly more than eight years, and they had been driven an average of 250,000 km. The average age of computers used by the police is more than six years. (1 euro = 1.35 U.S. dollars)
