Trucks carrying wire fencing arrived in the Slovenian village of Veliki Obrez close to the border with Croatia early today, a day after the government said it would start erecting barriers to control the flow of migrants.

Slovenia's parliament is expected to approve changes to its laws later today to enable the army to help police guard the border, as thousands of migrants flooded into the country from Croatia after Hungary sealed off its border.

Kosovo's prime minister has called his Slovenian counterpart to ask for the release of a Kosovar opposition leader and former guerrilla commander detained on Wednesday on a war crimes warrant issued by Serbia.
