Appointment of State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence
As of 17 July, the Government reappointed Damir Črnčec as State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, on the proposal of the Prime Minister in his capacity as Minister of Defence.
At today's correspondence session, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a declaratory decision on the termination of the office of State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence. On 11 July 2024, the National Assembly adopted a decision on the termination of the office of Minister, by which it established that, due to the incompatibility of the office of Minister with the office of Member of the European Parliament, the office of Minister of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia will cease to be held by current Minister of Defence, Marjan Šarec, as of the date of his assuming the office of Member of the European Parliament. Marjan Šarec became a Member of the European Parliament on 16 July 2024. Accordingly, the Government has determined that Damir Črnčec ceased to hold the office of State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence with effect from 16 July 2024.
