Pahor urges electoral reform, says Slovenia could descend into political chaos

Ljubljana, 18 June - President Borut Pahor warned MPs in a special address on Thursday against any delays in securing Constitutional Court-ordered electoral reform, saying a situation could occur where it will not be possible to execute a legitimate election. "This would push our county into a constitutional crisis or even political chaos and must not happen," he said.
