The 10th Government of Slovenia and the second one of Janez Janà ¡a was announced on 10 February 2012. It was formed after the 2011 Slovenian parliamentary election. It was the second government of Janez Janà ¡a, and so he became the second premier to return to the position, after Janez Drnovà ¡ek, who was prime minister four times.
On 5 January 2012, President Danilo Türk proposed Zoran Jankoviàas the candidate to form a government to the National Assembly. Two days before the scheduled voting, the Slovenian Association of Journalists and Commentators, the second largest journalists' association in the country, issued a statement raising the concern that Jankoviàmight abuse his power as prime minister by curtailing the freedom of media through intimidation. A coalition agreement between PS, SD, DL and DeSUS was initialled on 7 January. However, in the evening of 9 January, DL announced it would not support Jankoviàas the new prime minister and also not join his coalition, due to large differences in the programs of the parties. On 11 January, Jankoviàwas not elected as the new prime minister by the National Assembly. In a secret ballot, his candidacy only gained the support of 42 deputies, two less than expected prior to the voting, and four short of the absolute majority needed for his election. Following the election of Janez Janà ¡a as the Prime Minister in the second round of the voting, Positive Slovenia became an opposition party.
Janà ¡a's second government did not finish its mandate. The trouble began when Commission for the Prevention of Corruption of the Republic of Slovenia (KPK) published a report of control of the assets of each president of Slovenian parliamentary parties. Janez Janà ¡a and Zoran Jankoviàdid not know how to explain the source of all of their assets
Cabinet members came from five parties of the new coalition, until SLS, DL and DeSUS left the coalition on 23 January 2013:
The number of ministries was reduced from 19 in the Pahor cabinet to 12, due to the crisis. It was the fourth government led by the centre-right party.
