Slovenia needs strong new government
The Slovenians must elect a new parliament on Sunday because the coalition of the centre-left government led by Borut Pahor has collapsed as a result of internal disputes. Now Slovenia needs a stable government, the business paper Finance demands: "In the coming years we need a government that can change Slovenia. Therefore it must be a strong and united government, and the nation must prepare for changes and reforms without which things will only get worse. ... Whatever the new government looks like, its first task will be to calm things down and look reality in the face. ... If it doesn't we'll be pushed even closer to the edge."

Estonia catches up with Slovenia
Peter Frankl gives Slovenia a critical evaluation. "Certainly Slovenia resembles Austria more today than it did 20 years ago. But Estonia has also come closer to Slovenia in that time. And Estonia has made even greater strides. It used to be a Soviet republic, less democratic and much poorer than Slovenia. At some point it became a state that has surpassed Slovenia in its organizational and enterprising qualities, and in its curiosity. … Slovenians are world champions when it comes to plodding along. But they get upset if they are not recognized, or counted among the countries of the former East Bloc.”
