Slovenia is set to overcome a political deadlock following June elections as Prime Minister Marjan Sarec signed a coalition agreement with five parties to rule for four years in a minority cabinet.
The disparate alliance includes the party of Sarec, a former comedian, and the parties of former Prime Ministers Miro Cerar and Alenka Bratusek, as well as the Social Democrats and DeSUS, which represents pensioners. They pledged to boost economic growth, “uphold the rule of law and ensure a stable and predictable business environment,” according to the 47-page accord signed in Ljubljana, the capital, on Wednesday.
