Slovenia Warned Against Weekend Independence Plebiscite
The Yugoslav presidency branded Slovenia's planned referendum on independence as unacceptable and ordered steps to preserve national unity. Slovenia's leadership condemned the move and vowed a strong reply at the plebiscite on December 23, as federal plans to resolve ethnic quarrels face strain. Meanwhile in Bogota, Fabio Ochoa Vasquez surrendered under Colombia’s no-extradition offer, becoming the first cartel leader to turn himself in under the decree. He must confess to at least one crime to dodge extradition, with several mid level traffickers also surrendering recently.
