Slovenia can avoid bailout, PM-designate says


LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenia's new prime minister-designate pledged on Thursday to heal its banks and avert an international bailout, taking the reins of the once-thriving euro zone member at the height of its worst economic crisis in 22 years of independence.

Legislators dismissed conservative Janez Jansa's cabinet on Wednesday night after just a year in office and handed the baton to Alenka Bratusek, a centre-left finance expert tasked with preventing the fourth financial rescue of a member of the currency bloc since 2008.
