The Defence Ministry launched on 1 June a new department dedicated to the preservation of military heritage that will also deal with related issues such as the situation of war veterans, the war-disabled and war victims, and management of activities related to war graves.
Later this month, the Military Heritage Administration, headed by law expert Rok Janez Šteblaj, will also become in charge of graves of victims of summary killings during and immediately after WWII.
