Slovenia’s conservative opposition has a demand for the country’s Constitutional Court to nullify parliament’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state, AFP reports.

Slovenia’s opposition in the court filing said the decision to go ahead with the parliament vote breached parliamentary rules and the constitution.

“We call upon the Constitutional Court … to declare it null and void,” reads the court filing by the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), led by former prime minister Janez Jansa and the Nova Slovenija party (NSi).

It accused the government of “undermining democratic procedures”, according to the filing published on SDS’s website.
