Slovenians perceive entrepreneurs from the EU as the most suitable foreign owners of Slovenian companies, a survey published by financial daily Finance on Wednesday has shown. Americans, Russians, Serbians and Croatians on the other hand enjoy far less trust.
While the large majority of Slovenians are favourably inclined towards foreign owners coming from the EU (80.7%), the remaining choices provided by the survey received rather modest support.
Americans are preferred by 4.9%, Russians by 3.2%, while Serb and Croat owners convinced only 3% of the respondents.
Asked whether Russians, who have been increasing their foothold in Slovenia in several areas, were good owners for Slovenian companies, 20.9% of the respondents replied with a yes, 37.5% said they were not, while 41.6% were undecided.
Almost 39% of the respondents meanwhile said that Janez Drnovsek, prime minister between 1992 and 2002, had the best economic policy of all Slovenian prime ministers to date.
The current prime minister Janez Jansa placed second with 30%, while Anton Rop (2002-2004) got 10% of the votes. 20% of the respondents refused to make a choice.
The survey was carried out for the daily by the polling agency Episcenter among 474 respondents.
