Ljubljana – EU law expert Maja Brkan is confident she can pass Committee 225’s vetting to become a new Slovenian judge on the General Court of the European Union, if her candidacy is endorsed by Slovenian parliament. She believes, based on her expertise and experience, she could become one of Slovenia’s two judges on this court.
Pahor announced last Thursday, following consultations with deputy groups, that he would nominate Brkan, who presented her bid at the Presidential Palace today.
Brkan holds a PhD in law and is an associate professor of EU law at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Law, for which she has worked since 2013.
