LJUBLJANA Slovenia is on Sunday holding presidential elections, the fifth in the country's history, with President Danilo Turk seeking another term in office. His challengers are former PM Borut Pahor, and MEP Milan Zver. Slovenians vote in presidential elections Turk and Pahor had collected the necessary 5,000 signatures in order to become the candidates, while Zver was supported by members of Slovenia's parliament from the two ruling parties. Public opinion polls give Zver the least chance of winning the race. Pahor and Turk, although both left-wing politicians, will therefore also have to win the trust of voters of the ruling, right-wing coalition. Under these circumstances Pahor is seen as the favorite, since he has "shown understanding for the effort of the government of Janez Jansa as it fights the crisis". For that reason, many believe that Pahor will also receive the votes that "logically should have gone to Zver", and win in the first round. Unofficial results are expected late on Sunday. Slovenia's political course will not change significantly in the wake of the ballot, considering that presidential powers in that country are fairly limited. Danilo Turk (Beta, file) B92
