Slovenia Government on Brink of Ruin as Bailout Looms

Slovenia is on the brink of early elections amid corruption allegations against Prime Minister Janez Jansa that threaten to sink the government as it fights to avoid an international bailout.

The Citizens List party began meeting at 5 p.m. in the capital, Ljubljana, to decide whether to quit the ruling coalition after the country’s anti-graft agency said the premier failed to declare some private assets. The party’s departure would force the government into minority rule or prompt elections unless it finds a replacement.
