The recent elections in Slovenia have brought more political uncertainty to the former Yugoslav republic. The right-wing, anti-immigration party, SDS won most of the votes in the June 3 general election, but it didn't have enough to form a new government on its own.

Its leader, Janez Jansa, was left with an onerous task of forming a coalition, with most of the other parties refusing to enter into a partnership with them.

The main reasons for that were Janez Jansa’s policy on migrants, and his political flirting with Hungarian right wing PM Viktor Orban. The two have shared similar views on migrants and the fences that both countries have erected to stem their influx. According to many, both here in Slovenia and across the West, that exact fence at the border with Croatia gave Janez Janda's party a real helping hand in the recent parliamentary election.

The barb-wired fence was put up a couple of years ago at the height of the migrant crisis. It actually separates Croatia and Slovenia, two EU countries. Although the peak of the crisis has since passed, many political parties here want this structure to remain in place. During his election campaign, Jansa constantly reiterated the need to differentiate between genuine refugees and those who were just "economic migrants."

It was something that Jansa stated in the election campaign as well.

"During the biggest migration wave, we clearly said to our European partners, and now it is at least partly the European policy, that for the people attempting to come to Europe seeking a better life, that better life should be provided to them back at their home."

Strong support for his policies came from neighboring Hungary and its prime minister, Viktor Orban. He was even at the SDS rally, waving the SDS flag and receiving standing ovations for his speech there.

Many in Europe see Janez Jansa winning the elections in Slovenia as the rise of the new right-wing and anti-Brussels movements on the rebellious eastern side of the EU, with Viktor Orban leading the pack. But not everybody agrees that Jansa won in Slovenia because of his anti-migrant policies. According to Sebastijan Jeretic, who is a political adviser for several Slovenian politicians, Jansa won because his competition was weak and his economic policies were well thought-out.

“Anti-migrant policies were not the central point,” said Jeretic. “Viktor Orban's support and anti-migrant program didn’t gain that much. You know, he gained 40,000 votes, so he gained four percent from the last elections, and this is because the left wing was not successful in the communication with the voters.”

Now it's clear that Jansa will be given the chance to form a new government. At the same time, Marjan Sarec, who leads the second most popular party, the LMS, is saying that all options are on the table, including another election. All options except an alliance with Jansa, even if he offers enticing concessions.

“We don’t need to give any ultimatums to him, because even before the election, we were saying that we wouldn't go into a coalition with the SDS, just like a number of other parties were claiming. If we change that now, we won’t be trustworthy anymore. I think that we have to stick to our pre-election promises,” Sarec said in an interview with CGTN.

The way things stand, the process to create a new government in Slovenia may take several months. But analysts are not excluding the possibility that the effort can be fruitless, resulting in new Slovenia elections this autumn.
