LDS Congress Hears Calls for Revival
Žalec, 30 June - The revival of the opposition Liberal Democracy (LDS) was high on the agenda as the party opened on Saturday its congress, at which it will elect a new leader after incumbent Jelko Kacin tendered his resignation. Kacin told the meeting in Zalec that he stepped down to give the LDS an opportunity to change things before next year's parliamentary elections.
