LJUBLJANA, March 30 (Reuters) - Slovenian Prime Minister 
Miro Cerar has told his Defence Minister to resign in a row over 
the sale of state-owned telecoms operator Telekom Slovenia 
 TLSG.LJ . 
    Cerar said on Monday after a meeting of his coalition that 
he expected Janko Veber to quit for ordering the army's secret 
service to analyse the possible security implications of the 
privatisation. 
    Cerar said would ask parliament to dismiss Veber unless 
Veber resigned by Tuesday. Veber, who is a member of the 
smallest coalition party, the centre-left Social Democrats, told 
reporters he would not resign.
