Slovenian Premier Battles to Keep Post After Losing Majority

Slovenia’s Prime Minister Janez Jansa battled to keep his post and push on with an economic overhaul as the country lurched toward early elections and a bailout after his coalition split over graft allegations.

Jansa was left short of the 46 votes needed to pass laws after the Citizens List party decided to abandon the coalition following a report by the anti-graft agency which accused him of failing to properly account for his private assets. Other coalition partners have also said they will quit, increasing the risk of early elections for the second time in a year.
