The Ljubljana trial of former PM Janez Jansa and four others for alleged bribery has begun.
Jansa, 52, was prime minister from 2004-08.
He is charged with complicity in the signing of a E278mn deal with Finland's Patria defense company for 135 armored vehicles.
"All together it is just a farce," and politically motivated claims Jansa.
