Below is a review of the headlines in Slovenian dailies for Thursday, 9 August 2018, as prepared by the STA

DELO

Real estate
"Construction of flats thrives in capital": Construction workers in Ljubljana are not only busy with roadworks and infrastructure. Several developments are close to completion as well, including an upscale residential complex in the Šiška borough. (front page, 8)

Mountaineering
"Still too many hikers in flip-flops": While it is possible to see hikers wearing flip-flops in the Slovenian mountains, the situation is much better than in Croatia, where people visit mountains, national parks and even caves in flip-flops or even without any footwear at all. (front page, 17)

NLB
"NLB all set before the sale": The European Commission will soon, tomorrow at the latest, release a decision with new deadlines and compensatory measures for Slovenia's largest bank NLB. Measures would be softer if 75% minus one share in the bank is sold this year, the paper cites its sources. (front page)

Coalition
"Waiting for Left": Marjan Šarec was formally put forward as prime minister-designate yesterday, but his fate will depend on the Left's internal referendum about supporting a Šarec cabinet, whose results will be unveiled today. (front page, 2)

DNEVNIK

Coalition
"Marjan Šarec seeking term with 43 votes": A quintet of centrist and leftist parties formally put forward Marjan Šarec as prime minister-designate. The motion has been signed by 43 MPs of his LMŠ party, Social Democrats (SD), Modern Centre Party (SMC), Alenka Bratušek Party (SAB) and the Pensioners' Party (DeSUS), while Šarec expects that the Left will provide the rest of the required votes in the ballot next Friday.

Capital
"How can Ljubljana fight heat": There are several measures cities can implement to fight the heat, which is usually worse than in the countryside. (front page, 9)

Construction
"Erdogan's friend drilling into Karavanke": Mehmet Cengiz would build the Karavanke tunnel in Slovenia for EUR 89.3m, while he is building the biggest airport in the world in Turkey for EUR 22bn. He is part of the construction phenomenon that has helped President Recep Tayyip Erdogan amass absolute power in Turkey. (front page, 4)

FINANCE

Notary public
"State closes office of notary public Sikošek! What must his clients be aware of?!": The Justice Ministry shut down one of the biggest notary offices in Ljubljana after its proprietor Jože Sikošek received a suspended eight-month sentence for abuse of office. (front page, 4, 5)

Digitalisation
"Sign for alarm? Politicians praising digitalisation, but country slides down in world rankings": Over the past two years, every other word coming from the mouths of Slovenia's leaders has been digitalisation or digital, but the UN apparently does not value this, as Slovenia lost 16 spots in its latest e-government survey. (front page, 2, 3)

Dairy exports
"Pomurske Mlekarne milk in luxury hotels and business centres in Hong Kong": Slovenia's third largest dairy, Pomurske Mlekarne, which produces 65 million litres of raw milk a year, will send more than 1.5 million litres of its long-life milk to Hong Kong this year, which compares to 300,000 litres in 2015.
