Ljubljana: Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar tendered his resignation Wednesday after a court annulled the result of a government referendum.

“The forces of the past do not allow us to work for future generations,” Cerar told a press conference. “I am tendering my resignation.”

Earlier Wednesday the constitutional court invalidated the result of referendum which approved a flagship government infrastructure project, the upgrading of transport links to Koper port on the Adriatic coast.
