Marjan Dikaučič, an official receiver, has become Slovenia’s new justice minister after a 44:11 vote in the National Assembly.
He succeeds Lilijana Kozlovič, who resigned due to the government’s decision to suspend the appointment of Slovenia’s members of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. Dikaučič said the programme of work at the ministry had largely been determined already and was circumscribed by the presidency of the EU. Among the tasks ahead, he singled out a reform of insolvency law, legislation on the protection of personal data, and legislation implementing several Constitutional Court decisions.
