Ljubljana – Nina Krajnik, a philosopher and psychoanalyst, has announced she is entering the presidential race. She will run as an independent but will accept endorsement by like-minded political parties.

“I am making it official and public. I will run for president of the republic in the autumn election,” the 37-year-old told the press on Monday.

The foundations for the new Constitution were laid already in 1998, with what is termed the writers' constitution, a document drawn up under the leadership of the Slovenian Writers' Association.

The initiative was picked up by the DEMOS coalition of parties, which presented in March 1990 its own version which drew strongly on the writers' document.
