Slovenian President Borut Pahor told parliament on Monday he would nominate no candidate for prime minister as no party enjoys majority support in parliament.

Slovenia held a national election on June 3, won by the anti-immigrant Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS). It lacks potential coalition partners to form a government.

Under Slovenian legislation, lawmakers will be able to nominate candidates for prime minister in the coming weeks.
