Slovenia's incumbent liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob claimed victory in parliamentary elections on Sunday, as results put his party just slightly ahead of the conservatives.
Golob took over from pro-Israel Donald Trump admirer Janez Jansa as a political newcomer in 2022, leading a three-party center-left coalition in the country of two million people.
The race had been expected to be tight, and foreign interference claims shook the campaign, with authorities probing whether an Israeli company was behind secretly recorded videos suggesting alleged graft in Golob's government.
