Slovenia s turn at the EU helm off to a tense, rocky start Lorne Cook Updated:  Tags:  In this May 25, 2021 file photo, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, left, speaks with Slovenia s Prime Minister Janez Jansa in Brussels. Slovenia takes over the European Union presidency with its Prime Minister in the focus because of his squabbles with Brussels, alliance with populist Hungarian leader Viktor Orban and increasingly autocratic policies. All of these are casting doubt on the small countrys credibility to lead the 27-nation bloc. Although the rotating 6-month EU Council presidency, which Slovenia assumes from Portugal on Thursday, is mostly bureaucratic and to an extent symbolic, it comes amid the blocs painful post-COVID-19 recovery, the stalled EU enlargement process and concerns that the leadership role could be used by the government to further obstruct media freedoms in Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe.
