Summary/Abstract: Preliminary elections in Slovenia in 2011 were called after the failure of previous left-wing coalitional government to manage the effects of economic crisis, affecting at the same time a number of European countries. The success of new parties on the elections promising better management and leadership has opened several possibilities of coalition formation. In the process of its formation where the ‚personal’ factor played an important role the right wing political parties showed greater coalitional potential and succeeded to form the new right wing coalitional government. Its functioning will not be easier because of the share number of parties and inherited problems while the constant pressures of the EU institutions to respect the standards of economic and fiscal stability will not let much space for independent actions’.
