He said that the LDS leadership had known at the time Rop was forming the government that it would be a problem to control the "elementary force" of Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel.
In the last few months, a team has formed within the LDS which actually no longer needs me. I would only obstruct it: Economy Minister Matej Lahovnik, Justice Minister Zdenka Cerar, Transport ...Minister Marko Pavliha, European Affairs Minister Milan M. Cvikl, Foreign Minister Ivo Vajgl ... ellipsis as published. If I were there as someone who is chaining them to the past, I would be hindering them, restrict some kind of innovation and free- flowing energy that they are bringing."
