Marjan Sarec, an ex-comedian who shot to popularity last year, said he wouldn’t join forces with ex-Prime Minister Janez Jansa, the only candidate he trails in polls before elections next month.
Sarec, speaking in an interview in Ljubljana on Thursday, said he “strongly believes” he can form a government without Jansa, who may win elections but has little chance to form a majority coalition, according to current statements from other party leaders.
