LJUBLJANA, July 16 (Reuters) - Slovenia's new government 
could be formed in the second half of September, President Borut 
Pahor said on Wednesday, after a new centre-left party won the 
most votes in a snap election. 
    "Following a patient dialogue between parties and their 
parliamentary groups, a new government could be formed in the 
second half of September," Pahor's office said in a statement 
after he met Miro Cerar, whose Party of Miro Cerar (SMC) won 
Sunday's election. 
    The SMC won 36 out of 90 seats in parliament, more than any 
other party has held since Slovenia's independence from 
Yugoslavia in 1991.
