Danilo Tuerk, the next President of Slovenia, featured left
With 69% of the votes it is unavoidable that Dr. Danilo Tuerk will succeed Dr. Janez Drnovsek as President of the Republic of Slovenia. Dr. Tuerk was Slovenia's first representative to the UN in the 1990's and is a relatively new political figure. Lojze Peterle who won the first Presidential election in October with a slim 4% only received a startling 30% of the votes. He was also supported by the Current Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
