The Slovene government called a press conference, which was attended by the Minister of Labor, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities Luka Mesec, Minister of Education and Training Vinko Logaj, State Secretary at the Ministry of the Interior Helga Dobrin, and State Secretary at the Ministry of Justice Andreja Kokalj following attacks by Roma on Andrej Breček from Mihovice near Šentjernej, a mayor with controversial views on Roma, and on 70-year-old Anton Čemažar in Ljubljana.

They presented how individual departments are addressing the challenges related to the Roma community. They rejected accusations that the government is not taking any action during this mandate. They emphasized that cooperation between departments has actually strengthened in the last year and that for the first time, Roma issues are being addressed comprehensively and systematically.

However, they agree that the situation we are witnessing is the result of decades of neglect of these challenges by the state and local communities.
