Državni zbor je včeraj potrdil zakon o plačnem sistemu v javnem sektorju.
Glavne spremembe vključujejo postopno zviševanje plač, prilagoditve pri napredovanjih in ukrepe za večjo privlačnost javnega sektorja za iskalce zaposlitve.Kot poudarja Peter Pogačar, generalni direktor Direktorata za javni sektor na Ministrstvu za javno upravo in član vladne pogajalske skupine, je posebej pomembno, da nihče v javnem sektorju ne bo več prejemal osnovne plače, nižje od minimalne.
Naš cilj je ustvariti sodoben in učinkovit javni sektor, ki bo služil prebivalcem. Ureditev plač je pomemben, a šele prvi korak do uresničitve tega cilja, pove Pogačar.
Vabljeni k poslušanju in gledanju nove epizode podkasta GOVSI.
(ENGLISH VERSION)
The National Assembly approved the law on the public sector pay system yesterday.This marks the most significant reform in this area over the past 15 years.
The main changes include gradual pay increases, adjustments in advancement procedures, and measures to make the public sector more attractive to job seekers. As Peter Pogačar, Director General of the Public Sector Directorate at the Ministry of Public Administration and a member of the government negotiating team, highlighted in the latest episode of the GOVSI podcast, it is also crucial that no one in the public sector will receive a base salary below the minimum wage.
"Our goal is a modern and efficient public sector, a modern and effective service for residents. While orderly pay is undoubtedly an important step," Pogačar emphasizes, "this is only the first in a series of many steps ahead."

V novi oddaji GOVSI podkasta govorimo o civilni obrambi. Z generalnim direktorjem za obrambne zadeve na Ministrstvu za obrambo Boštjanom Pavlinom pojasnjujemo, kaj je bistvo civilne obrambe in kakšna je razlika med civilno obrambo in civilno zaščito.
Gre namreč za dva ločena podsistema nacionalne varnosti: civilna zaščita je namenjena odzivu na naravne nesreče, civilna obramba pa odzivu v kompleksnih krizah in dogodkih. Posamezni elementi in ukrepi, ki se načrtujejo za zagotavljanje civilne obrambe, so bili aktivirani npr. v času množičnih migracij in med pandemijo COVID-19. Kot je povedal naš sogovornik, pa smo v Sloveniji dobro pripravljeni tudi na različne druge možne kompleksne krize sodobnega časa.Vabljeni k poslušanju in ogledu podkasta, ki ga tokrat vodi Zoran Potič.
[ENGLISH VERSION]
In this episode of the GOVSI podcast, we discuss civil defense. Together with Boštjan Pavlin, the Director General for Defense Affairs at the Ministry of Defense, we explain the essence of civil defense and the difference between civil defense and civil protection.
These are two separate subsystems of national security: civil protection is intended for responding to natural disasters, while civil defense is aimed at addressing complex crises and events. Certain elements and measures designed for ensuring civil defense were activated, for example, during mass migrations and the COVID-19 pandemic. According to our guest, Slovenia is well-prepared for various other potential complex crises of the modern era as well.
We invite you to listen to and watch the podcast, hosted this time by Zoran Potič. -

Dr. Uroš Svete: Vsi sodobni konflikti imajo tudi kibernetsko dimenzijo
Oktober je v mnogih državah in tudi v Sloveniji mesec ozaveščanja o kibernetski varnosti. O tej temi sta se v 12. epizodi GOVSI podkasta pogovarjala direktor Urada vlade za informacijsko varnost dr. Uroš Svete in direktorica Urada vlade za komuniciranje Petra Bezjak Cirman.
Življenja brez interneta si danes ne znamo več predstavljati, žal pa imajo sodobne tehnologije tudi temno plat. Vedno večjo nevarnost predstavljajo kibernetski napadi, ki so v porastu in ogrožajo gospodarstvo, državne institucije in posameznike. Lahko celo ogrozijo varnost države, saj imajo vsi sodobni konflikti tudi kibernetsko dimenzijo.
Kibernetski incident se lahko zgodi tudi meni, tebi, komurkoli, zato dr. Svete v podkastu poudari, da na spletu ni vse varno, zato sicer zaupaj, ampak preveri. Pozorni moramo biti tudi na dezinformacije, ki se velikokrat odvijajo tudi kot naslednja faza kibernetskega napada. Podobno kot smo se naučili cestno prometnih pravil, naj varnost postane neločljiv del uporabe tehnologije.

Dr. Uroš Svete: All Modern Conflicts Have a Cyber Dimension
October is Cyber Security Month in many countries, including Slovenia. In the 12th episode of the GOVSI podcast, Dr. Uroš Svete, Director of the Government Office for Information Security, and Petra Bezjak Cirman, Director of the Government Office for Communication, discussed this topic.
We can no longer imagine life without the internet today, but unfortunately, modern technologies also have a dark side. Cyberattacks, which are on the rise, pose increasing threats to the economy, state institutions, and individuals. They can even jeopardize national security, as all modern conflicts also have a cyber dimension.
A cyber incident could happen to me, you, or anyone, which is why Dr. Svete emphasizes in the podcast that not everything online is safe. Trust, but verify. We must also be mindful of disinformation, which often follows as the next phase of a cyberattack. Just as we learned the rules of road safety, security should become an inseparable part of using technology.

»Sovražnik pravzaprav ni več ideologija, temveč resnica sama. Demokracija je napadena, zato moramo zgraditi informirano družbo, ki se bo zavedala nevarnosti dezinformacij in umetne inteligence,« je med drugim povedal gost, ki je eden vodilnih učenjakov na področju mednarodnih odnosov in tako imenovane mehke moči.Nicholas J. Cull je zgodovinar, katerega raziskave se osredotočajo na vpliv javne diplomacije ter na to, kako države uporabljajo kulturo in medijske strategije, da oblikujejo svojo globalno podobo.

Te dni mineva eno leto od katastrofalnih poplav, ki so lanskega avgusta prizadele velik del Slovenije. Država se je hitro odzvala na dogodek izrednih razsežnosti, uspešno izpeljala intervencijo in kasneje tudi sprejela številne ukrepe za odpravljanje posledic poplav. Eden ključnih ljudi, ki so v tistih dneh vodili intervencijo in reševali življenja ljudi, je poveljnik Civilne zaščite Srečko Šestan.
Srečko Šestan je že vrsto let najprepoznavnejši obraz Civilne zaščite in eden od prvih, ki pomiri zaskrbljene ljudi, ko nastopijo krize. Od leta 1996 je zaposlen na Ministrstvu za obrambo, na področju varstva pred naravnimi in drugimi nesrečami pa je bil aktiven že pred tem. V 12 letih, odkar opravlja naloge poveljnika Civilne zaščite, je za spopadanje z nepredvidljivo naravo in drugimi nesrečami 16-krat aktiviral državne načrte zaščite in reševanja. V teh letih si je skozi številna vodenja intervencij pridobil zaupanje in spoštovanje ljudi. Je premišljen, strokoven, požrtvovalen, s čutom za pripadnost, solidarnost in humanitarnost.

GOVSI Podcast: A well-designed system of protection and rescue is essential for a successful first response.It has been one year since the catastrophic floods affected a large part of Slovenia. The Government promptly responded to this extreme event and did much to ameliorate the immediate effects. Later, it also adopted many measures for flood recovery. One of the key people who led the first response and saved lives was Civil Protection Commander Srečko Šestan.
Srečko Šestan has been the best-known representative of Civil Protection for many years and is one of the first to reassure worried people when a crisis arises. He has been employed at the Ministry of Defence since 1996, but was involved in protection against natural and other disasters even before that. In the 12 years of his service as the Civil Protection Commander, he activated the National Emergency Response Plan 16 times to fight the unpredictable effects of natural and other disasters. In leading many crisis responses over these years, he has earned people's trust and respect. He is thoughtful, professional, dedicated and has a sense of belonging, solidarity and humanitarianism.

Z novo epizodo GOVSI podkasta odštevamo še zadnje dni do olimpijskih iger v Parizu. V studiu smo gostili predsednika Olimpijskega komiteja Slovenija Franja Bobinca. Z njim se je pogovarjala direktorica Urada RS za komuniciranje Petra Bezjak Cirman.
Slovenijo bo v Parizu zastopala najštevilnejša reprezentanca doslej, saj šteje kar 90 članov. Čeprav bi si posebno omembo zaslužil prav vsak med njimi, naj tokrat posebej izpostavimo žensko rokometno reprezentanco, saj gre za prvo uvrstitev na OI za kateri koli ženski ekipni šport pri nas.
Pariz je tokrat že tretjič prizorišče olimpijskih iger. Tiste pred natanko sto leti, leta 1924, so za nas še posebej znamenite, saj je olimpionik Leon Štukelj tam postal prvi Slovenec z osvojeno zlato medaljo.
Če boste med 26. julijem in 11. avgustom med navijači, priporočamo, da si preberete informacije, namenjene slovenskim državljanom. Sicer pa - kot v podkastu poudari tokratni gost – kjer koli že boste, verjamemo, da bo od 26. julija dalje vsa Slovenija dihala z našimi športnicami in športniki kot eno.
Pariz, prihajamo!

GOVSI Podcast: Paris, here we come!With the new episode of the GOVSI podcast, we are counting down the last days until the Olympic Games in Paris. In the studio, we hosted the president of the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, Franjo Bobinac. Petra Bezjak Cirman, director of the Office of Communications of the Republic of Slovenia, spoke with him.
Slovenia will be represented in Paris by the largest national team ever, with as many as 90 members. Although each of them deserves a special mention, let's single out the women's handball national team this time, as it is the first placement at the OI for any women's team sport in our country.
Paris is the venue of the Olympic Games for the third time. Those exactly one hundred years ago, in 1924, are particularly famous for us, as Olympian Leon Štukelj became the first Slovenian to win a gold medal there.
If you will be among the fans between July 26 and August 11, we recommend that you read the information intended for Slovenian citizens. Otherwise - as this time's guest points out in the podcast - wherever you are, we believe that from July 26, all of Slovenia will breathe with our athletes as one.

Ob začetku kampanje Ustavimo dezinformacije – preBERI, preMISLI, PREVERI to temo podrobneje osvetljujemo tudi v novi epizodi GOVSI podkasta.
Naš gost je vodja skupine za politiko, strategijo in globalna prednostna vprašanja v oddelku za strateško komuniciranje Evropske službe za zunanje delovanje (ESZD) Siim Kumpas. Preden se je pridružil ESZD, je Kumpas oblikoval in izvajal pristop Estonije k izgradnji odpornosti proti manipulaciji z informacijami s strani tujih držav. Je tudi gostujoči predavatelj na Estonski akademiji za varnostne vede, kjer predava o strateškem komuniciranju in psihološki obrambi.
Kaj so dezinformacije?
Dezinformacije so zavajajoče ali nepravilne informacije, ki jih širijo posamezniki, organizacije in države z namenom zavajanja ali manipuliranja s posamezniki in javnim mnenjem.
Največji učinek imajo v obdobju kriz, negotovosti in splošnega nezadovoljstva, ker delujejo na čustveni ravni in vplivajo na mnenje in odločitve ljudi. Njihov namen je ustvariti zmedo, vzbuditi jezo, strah, škodovati ugledu posameznikov, organizacij ali institucij in držav. Težava širjenja lažnih informacij je najizrazitejša v kriznih razmerah, kakršna je bila na primer pandemija novega koronavirusa.
Vse evropske institucije nas opozarjajo, da lahko nov val dezinformacijskih kampanj pričakujemo tudi pred prihajajočimi evropskimi volitvami. Tudi zato želimo javnost čim bolj ozavestiti, da je kritično sprejemanje informacij in preverjanje zanesljivosti virov v današnjem času nujno.
Pogovor vodi Zoran Potič.
Vabljeni k ogledu in poslušanju.
[ENGLISH VERSION]
GOVSI Podcast: let's STOP DISINFORMATIONTo mark the launch of the 'Stop Disinformation - READ, THINK, CHECK' campaign, we're taking a closer look at this topic in a new episode of the GOVSI Podcast.
Our guest is Siim Kumpas, Head of the Policy, Strategy and Global Priorities Group in the Strategic Communication Department of the European External Action Service (EEAS). Prior to joining the EEAS, Kumpas designed and implemented Estonia's approach to building resilience against information manipulation by foreign states. He is also a guest lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences, where he lectures on strategic communication and psychological defence.
What is disinformation?
Disinformation is misleading or inaccurate information disseminated by individuals, organisations, and states with the intention of misleading or manipulating individuals and public opinion.
They are most effective in times of crisis, uncertainty, and general dissatisfaction because they operate at an emotional level and influence people's opinions and decisions. They aim to create confusion, anger, fear, damage the reputation of individuals, organisations or institutions and countries. The problem of the spread of false information is most pronounced in crisis situations, such as the new coronavirus pandemic.
All European institutions are warning us to expect a new wave of disinformation campaigns ahead of the upcoming European elections. All European institutions are warning us to expect a new wave of disinformation campaigns ahead of the upcoming European elections. This is one of the reasons why we want to make the public as aware as possible of the need to critically accept information and to check the reliability of sources nowadays.

Gost nove epizode GOVSI podkasta je Romano Prodi. Z voditeljico Natašo Čepar smo ga povabili k pogovoru ob praznovanju 20. obletnice vstopa Slovenije v Evropsko unijo, spregovorila pa sta tudi o odnosih med Slovenijo in Italijo in aktualnih dogodkih v svetovni politiki.
Romano Prodi (1939) je italijanski politik, dvakratni nekdanji predsednik italijanske vlade in nekdanji predsednik Evropske komisije v obdobju med letoma 1999 in 2004 – ravno v času slovenskih pogajanj za vstop v EU.
Med njegovim mandatom na čelu Evropske komisije se je EU intenzivno pripravljala na največjo širitev v njeni zgodovini in sprejetje nove Evropske ustave. Prodi je spodbujal povezovanja med članicami in krepitev vloge EU v mednarodnih zadevah. Med njegovim predsedovanjem so bili doseženi nekatere pomembni dogovori, kot je na primer sprejetje evra kot uradne denarne enote v državah območja evro. Prav tako se je trudil za izboljšanje gospodarske konkurenčnosti Evropske unije in je spodbujal socialno kohezijo med članicami.
Kot vsak politik je bil tudi Prodi deležen kritik in polemik, vendar je njegov mandat pustil precejšen pečat na nadaljnjem razvoju evropske integracije.
Tokratna epizoda je bila posneta 9. maja v Novi Gorici v sodelovanju z medijsko hišo Delo.
Vabljeni k poslušanju in gledanju.

Romano Prodi: Nova Gorica and Gorizia as symbols of European unityThe guest of the new episode of the GOVSI podcast is Romano Prodi. We invited him to talk to host Nataša Čepar on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Slovenia's accession to the EU. They also discussed relations between Slovenia and Italy and current events in world politics.
Romano Prodi (1939) is an Italian politician, a former two-time Prime Minister of Italy, and the former President of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004 – precisely during Slovenia's negotiations for EU accession. During his tenure at the helm of the European Commission, the European Union was actively preparing for its largest expansion in history and the adoption of a new European Constitution. Prodi encouraged integration among member states and strengthened the EU's role in international affairs. Some significant agreements were reached during his presidency, such as the adoption of the euro as the official currency in the euro area countries. He also worked to improve the European Union's economic competitiveness and promoted social cohesion among its members.
Like any politician, Prodi faced criticism and controversies, but his tenure left a significant mark on the further development of European integration.

Tema nove oddaje podkasta so migracije. Gostja Zorana Potiča je izvršna direktorica Evropske agencije za azil Nina Gregori, ki se s tem področjem ukvarja že vso svojo kariero.
Nina Gregori je bila pred kratkim že drugič imenovana na mesto izvršne direktorice Evropske agencije za azil (angleško European Union Agency for Asylum - EUAA). Pred odhodom v Bruselj je bila dolga leta direktorica direktorata na ministrstvu za notranje zadeve, ki je zadolžen za državljanstva, urejanje statusov prebivalstva in migracije. Je odlična poznavalka tega področja, zato je enourni pogovor z voditeljem Zoranom Potičem kar prekratek, da bi lahko načela številne aktualne vidike te problematike.
Pogovarjala sta se predvsem o pravkar sprejetem paktu o migracijah in azilu in posledicah, ki jih bo imel za upravljanje migracij v EU in delovanje EUAA, dotaknila pa sta se tudi vzrok za migracije in možnega razvoja tega področja v prihodnosti.

Nina Gregori: I hope that the EU will always remain a safe haven
The topic of the new podcast show is migration. Zorana Potič's guest is the executive director of the European Asylum Agency, Nina Gregori, who has been working in this field for her entire career.
Nina Gregori was recently appointed for the second time as Executive Director of the European Union Asylum Agency (EUAA). Before going to Brussels, she was for many years the director of the directorate at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of citizenships, regulation of population statuses and migration. She is an excellent expert in this field, which is why the one-hour conversation with host Zoran Potič is too short to cover many current aspects of this issue.
They focused on recently adopted pact on migration and asylum and the consequences it will have for the management of migration in the EU and the operation of the EUAA, and they also touched on the cause of migration and the possible development of this area in the future.

Ob bližajoči se 20. obletnici vstopa Slovenije v EU smo v novi epizodi podkasta gostili agrarnega ekonomista dr. Emila Erjavca. Med pogajanji za vstop v EU je bil član ožje pogajalske skupine za področje kmetijstva in ribištva, »strokovni motor« pogajanj za kmetijstvo. Je zelo priljubljen profesor na Biotehniški fakulteti in predvsem velik poznavalec kmetijske politike.
Voditeljica tokratne epizode direktorica Urada vlade za komuniciranje (Ukom) Petra Bezjak Cirman je v pogovoru z njim obudila spomin na pogajanja, spregovorila pa sta tudi o trenutnem stanju slovenskega kmetijstva. Dr. Erjavec je kritičen do nevzajemnega delovanja naših agroživilskih verig in meni, da je vladni ukrep spremljanja cen po celotni verigi pravi, a 30 let prepozno sprejet. Opozori na mlade, ki vse bolj iščejo alternativni način življenja na podeželju – pojav, ki ga imenuje 'renesansa podeželja', a ob tem ga skrbi razkol z mladimi kmetovalci. Povezovanje med njimi je nujno, je prepričan dr. Erjavec.

Dr Erjavec: Challenges exist, but in Slovenia, we are experiencing a rural renaissance
As the 20th anniversary of Slovenia's accession to the EU approaches, in a new episode of the podcast, we hosted agricultural economist Dr Emil Erjavec. During the negotiations for EU accession, he was a member of the core negotiating team for agriculture and fisheries, the "expert engine" of the negotiations for agriculture. He is a highly popular professor at the Biotechnical Faculty and above all, a great expert in agricultural policy.
The host of this episode, Petra Bezjak Cirman, director of Government Communication Office (Ukom), in conversation with him, recalled the negotiations and also discussed the current state of Slovenian agriculture. Dr Erjavec is critical of the lack of mutual cooperation in our agri-food chains and believes that the government's measure of monitoring prices throughout the chain is right but 30 years too late in adoption. He highlights the trend of young people increasingly seeking alternative ways of life in rural areas — a phenomenon he calls the 'renaissance of the countryside.' However, he is concerned about the gap with young farmers. Dr Erjavec is convinced that cooperation between them is essential.

Osnovnošolci bodo jeseni vstopili v nekoliko prenovljeno šolo. Kot poudarja tokratna gostja GOVSI podkasta, državna sekretarka z ministrstva za vzgojo in izobraževanje Janja Zupančič, je šola živa skupnost, ki se mora prilagajati dogajanju v okolju. Nedavno sprejeta novela zakona o osnovni šoli je eden od odzivov na te prilagoditve.
Janja Zupančič je pristojna za predšolsko vzgojo, osnovno in glasbeno šolstvo ter izobraževanje otrok in mladostnikov s posebnimi potrebami. Ima bogate pedagoške izkušnje na različnih ravneh izobraževanja – od dolgoletnega poučevanja na osnovni in srednji šoli do opravljanja ravnateljske funkcije. Svoje dolgoletne izkušnje v izobraževalnem sistemu pogosto deli na različnih strokovnih dogodkih, so pa tudi odločno izhodišče pri oblikovanju sistemskih novosti na področju osnovnošolskega izobraževanja, s čimer se ukvarja na sedanji funkciji.Izhodišče pogovora v tokratni epizodi GOVSI poskasta, ki ga je vodila Vesna Žarkovič z Urada Vlade za komuniciranje, je bila nedavno sprejeta novela zakona o osnovni šoli, ki prinaša pomembne spremembe na področju učenja tujih jezikov, izvajanja nacionalnega preverjanja znanja (NPZ), spreminja pa tudi zasnovo razširjenega programa.

"The school is a living community that adapts to its environment"
Elementary school students will enter a slightly renovated school in the fall. As the latest GOVSI podcast guest, State Secretary from the Ministry of Education, Janja Zupančič, emphasizes, the school is a living community that must adapt to what is happening in the environment. The recently adopted amendment to the Act on Elementary School is one of the responses to these adjustments.
Janja Zupančič oversees preschool education, primary and music schooling, as well as the education of children and adolescents with special needs. She boasts rich pedagogical experience across various levels of education – from years of teaching at primary and secondary schools to serving in the role of a principal. Her extensive background in the educational system is frequently shared at various professional events and serves as a firm foundation for shaping systemic innovations in primary education, a task she currently undertakes.
The starting point of the conversation in this episode of GOVSI, hosted by Vesna Žarkovič from the Government Communication Office, was the recently adopted amendment to the Elementary School Act, which brings significant changes to the learning of foreign languages, the implementation of the national assessment of knowledge (NAK), and also alters the framework of the extended program.

Gost nove epizode vladnega podkasta GOVSI je dr. Janez Potočnik: med pripravami na vstop Slovenije v EU vodja ožje pogajalske skupine za vstop v EU, nato dva mandata evropski komisar, danes pa član in sopredsedujoči Mednarodnemu panelu za vire pri OZN. Pogovor je vodila direktorica Urada Vlade Republike Slovenije za komuniciranje Petra Bezjak Cirman.
Letos obeležujemo 20 let od vstopa Slovenije v Evropsko unijo. Da smo se lahko včlanili, je bilo treba imeti jasen cilj in vložiti ogromno naporov v spremembe pravnega, gospodarskega in še kakšnega sistema, da smo bili kot država in družba pripravljeni na članstvo v EU. Zakaj smo bili tako uspešni v procesu pogajanj? Kakšna je vloga EU v svetu danes? Kakšna je vloga Slovenije v EU? Se dobro soočata s številnimi globalnimi izzivi, še posebej s prehodom na bolj trajnostni način življenja? Kako izpeljati tako imenovani zeleni prehod, da bo pravičen za vse? Dr. Janez Potočnik že desetletja sooblikuje javne politike v slovenskem in zadnja leta predvsem v mednarodnem prostoru. Je strateg z vizijo in izjemno zanimiv sogovornik.

Dr Janez Potočnik: Without socially acceptable social conditions, the green transition will not happen
The guest of the 2nd episode of the GOVSI government podcast is Dr Janez Potočnik: during the preparations for Slovenia's accession to the EU, he was the head of the EU Accession Negotiating Group, then European Commissioner for two terms, and today he is a member and co-chair of the UN's International Panel on Resources. The discussion was moderated by Petra Bezjak Cirman, Director of the Government Communications Office.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Slovenia's accession to the European Union. In order to join, it was necessary to have a clear goal and to put a lot of effort into changing the legal, economic and other systems so that we as a country and a society were ready for EU membership. Why have we been so successful in the negotiation process? What is the EU's role in the world today? What is Slovenia's role in the EU? Are we coping well with the many global challenges, especially the transition to a more sustainable way of life? How can we make the so-called green transition fair for all? Dr Janez Potočnik has been shaping public policies in Slovenia for decades and, in recent years, especially internationally. He is a strategist with a vision and an extremely interesting interlocutor.

Gosta prve epizode GOVSI podkasta sta ministrica za zunanje in evropske zadeve Tanja Fajon ter minister za obrambo Marjan Šarec. Letos obeležujemo 20 let od vstopa Slovenije v Evropsko unijo in zvezo NATO, s 1. januarjem letos pa je Slovenija še drugič v zgodovini postala nestalna članica Varnostnega sveta Združenih narodov (VS ZN).
Leta 2004 smo torej dosegli dva ključna cilja slovenske politike po osamosvojitvi. Pričakovanja so bila velika, kakšna pa je bila prehojena pot? Kako je 20 let članstva v EU in NATU vplivalo na razvoj Slovenije? Kakšna bo vloga obeh integracij v spreminjajočem se globalnem svetu in kaj si lahko Slovenija obeta od nestalnega članstva v VS ZN? Na ta in še druga vprašanja odgovore išče voditelj tokratne epizode Boštjan Lajovic.

UN Security Council non-permanent membership also a result of responsible engagement in the EU and NATO
The guests of the first episode of the GOVSI podcast were Tanja Fajon, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, and Marjan Šarec, Minister of Defence. This year marks 20 years since Slovenia’s accession to the European Union and the NATO Alliance. On 1 January 2024, Slovenia also became a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the second time in history.
In 2004, we achieved two crucial objectives of Slovenian policy following independence. The expectations were great, but what was the path travelled like? How did 20 years of memberships in the EU and NATO impact Slovenia’s development? What will be the role of both organisations in the changing global world and what can Slovenia expect from its non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council? The host of this episode, Boštjan Lajovic, will seek answers to these and other questions.
