Krizanic Stays on as Finance Minister

Ljubljana, 20 January - Prime Minister Borut Pahor has decided to keep Franc Krizanic as finance minister despite the Court of Audit's call for his dismissal. In announcing his decision on Thursday, Pahor said Krizanic had largely done the work assigned to him by the court and more, even though he was under most pressure as minister in a time of crisis.
