Gaspari Three Votes Short of Winning Second Term

Ljubljana/Frankfurt, 2 February - Central bank Governor Mitja Gaspari did not secure a second term at the helm of Banka Slovenije in parliament on Friday, as he failed to win the endorsement of the two biggest coalition parties and the opposition National Party (SNS). The 43:41 vote, with three invalid ballots, means he was three votes short of the required majority.
