As the Prime Minister's Office reported, Cerar has, after the talks he held with Klemenčič, decided to back his minister. Klemenčič already said on Saturday that he does not plan to step down, despite the latest findings by the Supreme Court that as president of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Klemenčič violated the Constitution in the process of putting together a report on the assets of SDS leader Janez Janša. However Klemenčič said he would tender his resignation if the PM or coalition demanded that of him.

On Sunday Klemenčič held an unofficially meeting with the President of the National Assembly and vice-president of Miro Cerar's SMC party, Milan Brglez. There has been no information on the topic of their discussion. In principle Klemenčič does have the support of the SMC. As far as the other coalition parties are concerned – the SD Social Democrats are also supporting the justice minister, but will further discuss the issue, while there is also very little chance of the Pensioners' Party DeSUS calling on Klemenčič to resign.

Even if Klemenčič does stay on as minister, it won't mean the end of his troubles. The opposition SDS is not ruling out the possibility of filing an ousting motion against the minister. The coalition is also well aware that the issue might have to be discussed again in a few weeks or months, if the pressure keeps rising and starts to obstruct the functioning of the governing coalition.
