LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenia's president on Friday moved closer to nominating Janez Jansa as prime minister but his centre-right party lacks enough coalition partners to form a majority so he may decline, analysts said.

President Borut Pahor's office said he will next week meet Jansa to discuss the nomination. Jansa leads the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), which is the largest in parliament after winning an election last month.
