Ljubljana, 23 November - ELECTIONS/REACTIONS
After the commercial POP TV and the national Television Slovenia announced exit polls results, Leader of the non parliamentary Democratic Party (DS) and one of the eight candidates running for the presidency Tone Peršak said that the aforementioned results are in a way a positive shift. According to POP TV's exit poll Peršak got 3.5 percent of the vote and according to Television Slovenia's exit poll 3.2 percent. It is Peršak's opinion that the results were considerable progress for his party in comparison with last year's general election.
