Prime Minister Golob meets with Wall Street Journal management and journalist Evan Gershkovich
On Thursday, 26 September, Prime Minister Golob met with the Wall Street Journal management and its journalist Evan Gershkovich at the Wall Street Journal headquarters as part of the historic swap between the West and Russia, in which Slovenia played an important role.
Mr Gershkovich thanked the Prime Minister on his own behalf, on behalf of his family and on behalf of the newspaper for Slovenia's role in this historic swap.
This was followed by a vote of thanks from the newspaper's management. Slovenia's cooperation had put Slovenia on the right side, the side of media freedom. Evan's return was described as being like a "game of chess", a great event for him, his loved ones, the newspaper and the whole journalistic profession.
