DAY 68
Croatia complained to the EU that the Slovenian fence is an obstacle for migration of wildlife such as deer and that "Slovenia is violating European legislation on the conservation of natural habitats and the environment". The razor-wire fence laid by Slovenia in December 2015 on the border with western Croatian regions of Istria and Gorski kotar endangeres the habitat of the wolf and the brown bear, both of which are protected by law in Croatia. Local hunters have found deer killed by the fence. The WWF and the inhabitants of the regions from both sides of the border have protested against the decision to put up the razor-wire fence.
Slovenia was the smallest country on a major route for refugees and migrants heading north on their way to Austria and Germany.
About 180,000 people, many fleeing war in Syria and Afghanistan, have entered the Alpine state since mid-October 2015, when Hungary fenced off its border with Croatia and pushed the migrant route towards its western neighbour. /Guardian
St. Florian—an officer in the Roman army who died protecting his faith—is without a doubt reaping his reward in heaven as promised by God. Put to death for refusing to kill Christians as ordered by Emperor Diocletian, St. Florian is the man who has been given the title of patron saint of firefighters and floods.
