Prime Minister Pahor continued by saying that it depends on the Slovenian political elite whether Slovenia becomes part of the most competitive, developed and open society or settles with the average. Slovenian politics should work as a team "since in the next few years we will be making decisions about the destiny of this country for two generations ahead." In adopting the legislation, based on the strategy, Prime Minister Pahor also expressed his readiness to cooperate with the opposition to the extent necessary.
