Vojko Volk with paper replacement strengthens its influence in the Prime Minister's cabinet
Combining and disintegrating functions in the field of security and foreign affairs has been in the Prime Minister's office Robert Golob changing over time, but a key role in this area, despite numerous criticism and dissatisfaction Vojko Volkwhose main trump card is almost unwavering confidence of the Prime Minister. At the beginning of his term of office, the wolf was in charge of international affairs in the Prime Minister's office, dr. Andrej Benedejčič For national and international security, dr. Anton Grizold Well, defense and security policy.
Benedejčič exchanged cabinet employment for re -service at the prestigious position of Slovenian ambassador in NATO, and professor of defense science and former Defense Minister Anton Grizold retired. With these departures, in addition to international matters, Volk also took over the field of national and international security. From this enhanced position, the pro -American and Pro -Directed Policy has interfered with the human resources of Slovenian diplomacy, in the key foreign policy decisions of the country, such as (in) recognition of Palestine and bordering relations with China.
But now the Prime Minister's office has announced that the wolf will now be responsible for national and international security, and the field of foreign affairs will be taken over by an experienced diplomat Maja Bozovicwho has already been employed by the Prime Minister's office as a foreign affair consultant. However, Maja Božovic will not be appointed to the post of Secretary of State in this field, and will cover the wolves from the current counseling position.
Experts estimate that this paper replacement does not change in the structure of the cabinet, since Maja Bozovic will continue to do the work in March. The wolf, who will continue to make key decisions in this field, will (operatively) assist in external matters. Diplomatic species can be heard that an experienced professional, who has long served in the European Foreign Cooperation Service (EAAs), would earn the position of Secretary of State, especially in terms of feminist foreign policy, which has become part of the Slovenian foreign policy strategy by the government of Robert Golob.
In turning times in Euro -Atlantic relations, when there is still a wild war in Ukraine, national and international security is more important than foreign affairs, so, according to connoisseurs, Volk merely strengthens its position in Slovenian foreign policy. Especially with the fact that Prime Minister Robert Golob retreated from foreign policy in the year before the elections. In the field of external affairs, Golob only does « urgent current business ».
