PRESS REVIEW FROM SLOVENIA,LJUBLJANA, January 31. 1992 (STA)

Ljubljana, 31 January - DELO: DAMAGING STRATEGIES - There will be no elections in April. Separate segments of the parliament which have for the third time tried to find a common approach to elections for the state assembly and the state council are still divided. Moreover, Jana Taškar writes in her article, it is becoming apparent that there is a discord about the appropriateness of the present election regulations, and that it will be difficult to overcome it. The reasons for this are surely the strategies political parties are adopting, with the goal to secure themselves success at the oncoming elections - some bid for time, while others try to influence election regulations to their favor - and a lack of knowledge and experience in running elections, the commentator writes, adding that: "Elections are nowhere in sight, the parliament is still blocked and we still have a government which nobody approves of. When will party leaders realize that, if they do nothing to prevent the state from falling apart, their parties will fall apart too.
