He is a winner on the ground, he has results and the support of citizens.

Weber highlighted Janša's return as Prime Minister and his proven track record, stating, "He is a winner on the ground, he has results and the support of citizens." He emphasized the need for Janša's extensive experience, particularly "in a time of extreme change," suggesting his leadership qualities are crucial for navigating current political challenges.

In addition to praising Janša, Weber also commended Romana Tomc, the head of the SDS delegation and a vice-president within the EPP group. He noted that Tomc is "doing an excellent job" and made a strong contribution from Slovenia. Weber's positive assessment of both Janša and Tomc underscores their perceived importance within the EPP framework.

“

We need his experience, he is a politician with many years of experience. In a time of extreme change, we need serious experience.

When questioned about the potential exclusion of European Parliament member Branko Grims, Weber declined to comment directly. He stated that such matters are internal to the group and are not subject to public discussion. Weber did, however, express satisfaction with the ongoing relationship between the EPP and the SDS party, referring to them as being "within the EPP family."
