She adds that, in addition to the results of the presidential elections, the announcement from yesterday’s meeting between Slovenian Prime Minister Borut Pahor and Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor that they will try to resolve at least two of the three blocked negotiating chapters in the accession negotiations with the EU by the next accession conference on February 19, so that Slovenia would no longer have reservations about their opening, positively influences investor sentiment.
