MFA Security Policy Department staffer Bostjan Jerman, who
handles non-proliferation issues, and MFA North America Desk
Officer Oliver Djaic. Jerman, who returned to the MFA from
overseas in 2004, was unfamiliar with the 2002 Ioce/Elopsys
case but said he would look it up to use as a starting point.
He said he would share the information with relevant law
enforcement authorities and begin an investigation. Jerman
immediately grasped the importance of the inquiry and noted
that Slovenia needed to cooperate fully in any investigation,
especially as an aspiring member of the MTCR. Embassy will
continue to follow-up with Jerman and report any findings
immediately.
