The first food Ombudsman was appointed in Slovenia

The government appointed Joza Podgorsek to the post with a five-year mandate. He is the Dean of the Agricultural College.

The Ombudsman told the Delo Slovenian newspaper that his aim is to establish a fair relationship between all the participants of the agricultural chain, and the enforcement of the existing laws. He emphasized: “the consumer must realize that the food produced in Slovenia is better than imports.” (Kriják Krisztina, MTI)
