Small, crisis-hit Slovenia went to the polls to chose a president Sunday amid growing discontent with cost-cutting measures designed to avoid an international bailout.
Official returns show that voters approved an amendment to insert stronger rights for children into Ireland's constitution, with a narrower-than-expected 57.4 percent "yes" vote.

Slovenians are voting in an early election Sunday that is expected to bring conservatives back to power, where they will have to tackle the country's mounting debt, unemployment and a looming recession.
