LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenian President Borut Pahor nominated law professor Miro Cerar as prime minister on Tuesday after his centre-left SMC party ran away with a July election just weeks after he entered politics.
Parliament has seven days to confirm the appointment of the 50-year-old political novice, who has expressed reluctance to sell some of the bigger state assets slated for privatisation under a drive to steady Slovenia's finances after the euro zone member narrowly avoided an international bailout for its banks late last year.
