The chief of Slovenia’s anti-corruption watchdog says the country’s prime minister and opposition leader both should resign and let someone with a clear financial record lead the small European Union state out of its crippling economic crisis.
A report issued this week by the state Commission for the Prevention of Corruption has accused both Prime Minister Janez Jansa and opposition leader Zoran Jankovic of serious graft, throwing the state into a major political crisis with calls for both of them to face legal consequences.
Goran Klemencic, the head of the watchdog, told The Associated Press in an interview Friday that the two are accused of “systemic, gross and repeated violations of the anti-corruption legislation.”
“In that respect, it is expected that this has created an upheaval,” he says.
