LJUBLJANA, APR 16 (AP) - A newly formed political alliance of the People's Party and the Christian Democrats have nominated Andrej Bajuk as their candidate for the position of prime minister, a party statement said Sunday.
The new alliance is currently the strongest force in parliament.
Parliament is expected to vote on Bajuk within seven days. If confirmed, the 56-year-old economist would be given a mandate to form a new government, if only until new elections are held in October or November.
The former coalition government of outgoing Prime Minister Janez Drnovsek collapsed last weekend when parliament failed to support a proposed Cabinet reshuffle, thus leaving the country in its most serious political crisis since independence was declared from former Yugoslavia in 1991.
