Praise for Poklukar as majority pledge to support him for health minister

Ljubljana, 23 February - Most of the deputy factions lavished praise on Janez Poklukar's work as hospital manager so far as they pledged to support him for health minister in the vote in parliament later on Tuesday. Only two centre-left factions explicitly announced they would vote against his appointment, but even those held nothing against him.
