 Prime Minister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The post of prime minister is one which may be encountered both in constitutional monarchies (such as Belgium, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and in republics in which the head of state is an elected (such as France) or unelected official (such as Germany) with varying degrees of real power.
Contrary to popular and journalistic myth, most prime ministers in parliamentary systems are not appointed for a specific term of office and in effect may remain in power through a number of elections and parliaments.
In many cases, though commonly used, "prime minister" is not the official title of the office-holder; the Spanish prime minister is the President of the Government (Presidente del Gobierno).

The Polish Prime Minister was very interested in the experiences Slovenia has gained in EU accession negotiations, as Slovenia is the only EU candidate to have closed 26 out of the 31 chapters of the acquis and now only has to harmonise three more chapters.

But the highlight came when Croat police briefly detained 12 members of Slovenia's ultranationalist People's Party at a nearby land crossing after they tried to visit a colleague living in a contested strip of land without showing border guards their identity cards.
