     Gospa predsednica, naporen teden je za vami. Začelo se je z govorom v parlamentu, potem sta vas okarala dva predsednika. Najprej Borut Pahor, ki je razpredal, da mora predsednica predstavljati vse državljane, nekaj dni kasneje pa se je oglasil kabinet predsednika vlade, češ da ne bi smeli kritizirati ministrov. Kako ste občutili vse to?

     Madam President, you've had a tough week. It started with a speech in parliament, then you were reprimanded by two presidents. First, Borut Pahor, who said that the president should represent all citizens, and a few days later, the Prime Minister's Office came forward, saying that we shouldn't criticize ministers. How did you feel about all of this?
