LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - The head of the largest party in Slovenia's parliament, the anti-immigrant Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), told President Borut Pahor on Thursday he did not yet have sufficient support to become prime minister and form a government.

Janez Jansa, who is also a former two-time prime minister, posted a letter to the president on his Twitter account after Pahor last week gave Jansa another week to tell him whether he would accept the nomination to be prime minister.
