Slovenias Prime Minister Robert Golob (R) and his wife Tina (L) arrive to cast their votes at a polling station during the Slovenian General Elections in Ljubljana, on March 22, 2026. Slovenians are voting in tight parliamentary elections, with the conservatives of veteran politician Janez Jansa, an admirer of US President Donald Trump, eyeing a comeback. A Jansa return could see the ex-Yugoslav nation, a European Union member of two million people, take an illiberal turn again after four years of centre-left rule under liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob.
