LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), November 21 (SeeNews) - Slovenia’s parliament on Friday voted into office a centre-left coalition government assembled by Prime Minister Borut Pahor after his Social Democrats (SD) narrowly won September elections.
The cabinet was endorsed in a 56-30 vote in the 90-seat parliament.
Centre-left Social Democrats won the September 21 general election with 30.45% of the votes, followed closely by the centre-right SDS party of outgoing Prime Minister Janez Jansa with 29.26%.
SD formed a coalition cabinet with two other centre-left parties, Zares and LDS, and the pensioners’ party DeSUS. The four parties together control 50 seats in the chamber.
Slovenia gained independence from socialist Yugoslavia in 1991. The Alpine country joined the EU in 2004, becoming its first South-East European member. In 2007 it became the 13th member of the eurozone.
