Slovenia's Freedom Movement wins narrowly in election

Slovenia's ruling Freedom Movement, led by Prime Minister Robert Golob, secured a narrow victory in the country's parliamentary election on Sunday, according to preliminary results.  Golob said in a statement following the release of preliminary results that his party would strive to improve the future for all citizens, while acknowledging that coalition talks would be "tough."

He has previously indicated a willingness to negotiate with all parliamentary parties except the the opposition Slovenian Democratic Party. President Natasa Pirc Musar is expected to nominate a candidate for prime minister in the coming weeks.
