Cerklje ob Krki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cerklje ob Krki is small village in southern Slovenia in municipality Brežice, near the border with Croatia.

On 7 December 2006, Slovene minister of defence Karl Erjavec, together with other ministers, signed a protocol which would transform Cerklje ob Krki into a support facility for NATO aircraft (e.g., aircraft maintenance and resupply).[1] The building of this base is unpopular among local residents, who are concerned that the base would cause environmental and economic disruption.[2]
