Where's Janez?

Der Spiegel reports on the mysterious absence of Janez Drnovšek, president of Slovenia (not to be confused with that other place), who has not been seen in public since July. Presidential spokesman Ivo Vajgl explained the unexpected cancellation of a meeting between Mr. Drnovšek and Italian prime minister Romano Prodi scheduled for this Monday by saying the president was enjoying his vacation and that "something unexpected" had come up to prevent the meeting. I hope Mr. Drnovšek is well and will be able to resume his duties soon.
