LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenia's next ruling party picked former finance minister Dusan Mramor on Thursday to head the finance ministry in a new centre-left government that is due to be formed within weeks and aims to steer the euro zone member out of its economic crisis.

Mramor is a 60-year-old economics professor who presided over tax hikes in 2002-2004 as finance minister in a previous centre-left government.
