The proposed supplementary budget for 2014 is on the agenda on Tuesday, while the MPs will also debate the opposition-sponsored motion to oust Speaker Milan Brglez.

The supplementary budget for next year envisages a reduction of the expected revenue by EUR 20m and an increase of the expected spending by EUR 177m.

The document was already debated by relevant parliamentary committees this week, including the Finance and Monetary Policy Committee, which rejected on Saturday all the amendments filed by the opposition, which wanted to redistribute EUR 44m in total spending planned at EUR 9.8bn.

In the supplementary budget, revenues are expected to stand at EUR 8.6bn, which puts the budget deficit at EUR 1.2bn or 3.4% of Slovenia's GDP.

As the end of 2014 is fairly close, the government did not introduce structural changes in the budget, but is only proposing redistribution of funds among individual budget users doe to certain imbalances.

Wednesday's agenda will expectedly start with the vote on the ministerial candidates Alenka Smerkolj (development, strategic projects and cohesion) and Gojko Koprivec (economic development). Smerkolj has already been approved by the relevant committee while Koprivec is expected to be heard on Monday.

The session will continue with a debate on the proposed changes to the fiscal consolidation act aimed at keeping the highest income tax bracket (50%) next year and changing a retirement provision for civil servants that was revoked by the Constitutional Court.

Changes to the higher education act intended to address the problem of unaccredited courses is also on the agenda.

Thursday is reserved for the motion to oust Speaker Milan Brglez. filed by the opposition Democrats (SDS) based on an interview Brglez gave for the weekly Mladina in September, in which he allegedly expressed views contrary to the Constitution and his fondness of "totalitarian methods".

Brglez responded to the motion by saying that the critics tried to "portray a completely different picture of me, the interview and my intentions by taking the statements out of context".

The motion will be voted on in a secret ballot and at least 46 deputies out of 90 need to endorse the motion in order for it to be successful.

On the same day, the National Assembly will discuss recommendations related to the protection of human rights and freedom in court proceedings, also proposed by the SDS.

The first regular plenary session of the new parliament will conclude on Friday, when a debate on the 2013 report of the Human Rights Ombudsman is on the agenda.
