LJUBLJANA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Slovenians were voting on Sunday in a presidential election runoff, with former TV presenter Natasa Pirc Musar hoping to beat right-wing politician Andze Logar and become the country's first woman president. Although the role is mostly ceremonial, the president heads the army and also nominates several top officials, including the central bank governor. An opinion poll conducted by the Ninamedia agency published in the daily Dnevnik on Friday showed Pirc Musar winning 51.2% of the votes, with Logar taking 48.8%. "I expect the next president to care about us, the citizens, to represent Slovenia in a good manner," Uros Pinter said after casting his ballot in Ljubljana. Pirc Musar, 54, a former TV presenter who is now an influential lawyer, campaigned on human rights, the rule of law and social welfare issues.

LJUBLJANA, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Polls opened in the Slovenian presidential election on Sunday with former foreign minister in the rightist government, Anze Logar, expected to lead the seven candidates after the first round of voting. Opinion polls suggest that no candidate will win the more than 50% of the votes that would secure victory after the first round. The two candidates who win most votes will face run-off in two weeks. Polling stations close at 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) and first results are expected about two hours later. "While the president’s role in Slovenia is largely ceremonial, the election result will reflect voter support for liberal pro-EU political forces in relation to populist eurosceptic parties," the Teneo consultancy said before the election.

Slovenia preia joia preşedinţia rotativă a Consiliului Uniunii Europene, într-un moment în care disputele premierului Janez Janša cu Bruxellesul pe subiecte precum statul de drept, cooperarea cu Parchetul European şi libertatea presei stârnesc îngrijorări. Este a doua oară când Slovenia, ţară cu două milioane de locuitori, ocupă această poziţie, însă atmosfera este cu totul alta în prezent. În 2008, Slovenia era considerată un elev model al UE, iar preşedinţia Consiliului din prima jumătate a anului respectiv a fost celebrată ca o piatră de hotar pe drumul independenţei pentru această ţară din fosta Iugoslavie. Liderul conservator Janez Jansa era şi atunci prim-ministru. Printre priorităţile anunţate de Slovenia pentru preşedinţia de şase luni se numără şi summitul privind integrarea Balcanilor de Vest pe care îl va găzdui la toamnă, transmite G4Media.
