"Through hard work, the government has managed in one year to set the foundations for Slovenia to successfully face the consequences of the crisis. The path has been mapped out and our future is being threatened only by political blockades," Jansa said in a statement on the government's website.

Jansa's cabinet was inaugurated on 10 February 2012, comprising his Slovenian Democratic Party, the Christian Democratic party New Slovenia, the Democratic Party of Pensioners (DESUS), the Civic List (GL) and the Slovenian People's Party (SLS). This coalition is disintegrating because of the departure of the GL and the announced departure of DESUS and the SLS.

Jansa said the state of public finances and the situation in the banks was worse than the government had expected, adding that this was why it was necessary to maintain fiscal stabilisation and reform, so that Slovenia could become more competitive and maintain its level of development and standards for a longer time.

"We mustn't let our internal quarrels and the irresponsible and injudicious political calculations again undermine the foundations we have set," he said.

Jansa highlighted the government measures that had helped reduce public spending and limit the budgetary deficit, and announced new ones to stimulate growth, judicial reform and tackling the "deeper causes" of the incomplete social transition.

Jansa's cabinet recently lost the majority in parliament and the GL, DESUS and SLS are conducting talks on the possibility of forming a new majority that would nominate a prime minister designate of an interim government.

The main reason for the parties' departure from the coalition is a report released by the anti-corruption commission a month ago. It said Jansa failed to declare all his assets, which led to suspicion of corruption and conflict of interest. He said the accusations were politically motivated and refused the former coalition partners' proposal that he be replaced by someone from his party so that the coalition could survive.
