"Now it's necessary to think about reforms and measures to overcome the crisis and not early elections or a caretaker government," he told POP-TV.
"Politicians have recently realised that they must work together and are now dealing with problems," Pahor said, commending the adoption of a pension reform and other decisions which parliament passed without the opposition's objections.
Commenting on demonstrations against corruption and political elites which rocked Slovenia over the past two weeks, he said the demonstrations would calm down.
Pahor said he could not say at this moment if his relationship with Prime Minister Janez Jansa would be "harmonious", as claimed by some because of their similar positions on how to deal with the crisis, but added that he was not for major systematic changes or the introduction of a majority election system as proposed by Jansa.
Pahor said he would suspend his membership in the Social Democrats party.
He will be inaugurated in parliament in a little over two weeks.
