Not necesarily. However, the lack of evidence is more than obvious. Should evidence emerge, this can change big time. But arms deal scandals in Slovenia have a nasty habit of being never resolved

2. … till (reelections?) 2010. Zoki new PM in 2010

This is one possible scenario, since the leaders on the left (especialy Pahor) will have a lot of explainig to do as to why exactly they lost.

1. JJ will be the old/new PM and lead a coalition of SDS-DeSUS-SLS-SNS…
