Slovenians voted on Sunday in parliamentary elections expected to be a tight race between conservative Prime Minister Janez Jansa and a political newcomer in the polarised EU country. Jansa, 63, an ally of nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and admirer of US ex-president Donald Trump, is polling head-to-head with Robert Golob, former chief of a leading power company.


Wearing a tie in the national colours of Ukraine, blue and yellow, Jansa cast his vote in his village of Arnace in the northwest, shortly after polling stations opened at 7 am. "Turnout will certainly be high and that is good.... I hope that we will continue along the path that was set," Jansa told reporters. - AFP
