Ljubljana – Marko Ilešič, the Slovenian judge at the Court of the EU in Luxembourg who has been nominated for another term, said on Monday he would like to continue what he deems has been successful work there. He pointed to the importance of the court for the legal system and its cultural function.
Ilešič, who has been representing Slovenia at the court since 2004, said he had decided to run again because this was an intellectual challenge for him and because he believed that he had performed the job well so far.
There are also some external signs, such as trust expressed by his colleagues and the fact that he, as a rapporteur judge, had the main say in some of the major decisions of the court, including a 2014 ruling involving Google.
