Aleš Bržan confirms candidacy for Koper mayor

Aleš Bržan, the current mayor of Koper, has officially confirmed his candidacy for a third term in the upcoming local elections this November. Unlike his previous campaign, which was supported by the Freedom Movement, Bržan stated that he does not seek support from any specific political option. He expressed a desire to reach compromises based on common goals for the local community after the elections are concluded.

Bržan's political history in Koper includes running as an SMC candidate in 2014, later founding the Aleš Bržan List, and winning the mayoralty in 2018 and 2022.
