Slovenia TV reports border fence purchased

Public broadcaster TV Slovenia says the country's government has bought part of a fence that could be placed on the border with Croatia to control the influx of migrants into the country.
The report on the main evening news Thursday said 125 kilometers (75 miles) of the fence cost 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million). No other details were published.
Slovenian officials have said a fence could be used to direct the refugee flow, not close the 670-kilometer (400 mile) border as was the case in Hungary.
Prime Minister Miro Cerar warned Thursday "we will not be able to hold out like this forever."
