What principles and methods do you
use in your work?
A lot of people have asked me that,
and I always reply that I have all of that in
me and that I do not need a special school,
because in the last 25 years, I have only been
in the tax field. I became the manager of the
Tax Administration of Slovenia by being
its greatest critic. The former Minister said
"take it when you are so smart!" I simply live
with that and it is not hard to file a criminal

na radni karakter koji ne poznaje dane
odmora kada je potrebno nesto zavrsiti.
Ocekujete li da ete ovu energiju uspeti da
prenesete i na ostale kolege?
Nadam se da hou! Isti slucaj je bio i
u Sloveniji. Ve prvog dana dosao sam na
posao ujutro u sest sati, iako Uprava pocinje
da radi tek u devet. I naredne dve i po go-
dine redovno sam dolazio ranije, a radio
sam obicno do sedem pa i do osam uvece.
Posle nekoliko meseci i moji najblizi sara-
dnici su poceli da dolaze ranije i ostaju sa
mnom. To je bio isti tempo rada koji sam
praktikovao i u svojoj privatnoj firmi ­ ra-
dio sam po 12­14 sati dnevno. Subote i ne-
delje su mi posebno odgovarale, a najbolji su
bili praznici, narocito ukoliko bi jos padala i
kisa, jer sam tada mogao da zavrsim sve ono
sto se nakupilo prethodnih dana. Slicno je
bilo i u pogledu konferencije za medije koju
ste pomenuli. U nedelju je mirno, pa covek
moze lepo da se spremi. Tako sam navikao
da radim. Uostalom, retko mi se desavalo da
sam pravio pauze u poslu i nekuda odlazio
cak i na nedelju dana, izuzev mozda posled-
njih godinu­dve, ali ranije gotovo da se i ne
seam.
Koje principe i metode koristite u
radu?
To me mnogi pitaju, a ja im odgo-
varam da sve to zapravo imam u sebi i da
mi ne treba nikakva posebna skola, jer sam
poslednjih 25 godina samo u porezima. Ja
sam postao direktor Poreske uprave Slo-
venije tako sto sam bio njen najvei kriticar.
Tadasnji ministar mi je rekao ,,pa preuzmi je
kad si toliko pametan"! Ja jednostavno zivim
s tim i nije mi tesko da podnesem i krivicnu
prijavu protiv terenskog poreskog inspekto-
ra ukoliko vidim da je doneo protivzakonito
resenje. ,,Ako si ga doneo videemo se na
sudu!" Poreski obveznici ne smeju da se mal-
tretiraju. Svako moze da gresi i mi moramo
da odvojimo gresku od slucaja kad neko na-
merno nee da plati porez.
Navedite nam nekoliko svojih crta,
porodicnih i ljudskih elemenata koji bi
pokazali da pred sobom pored uspesne
poslovne osobe imamo i normalnog
porodicnog coveka sa nekim mozda
specificnim ljudskim manama ili vrlina-
complaint against a field tax auditor if I see
them issue an illegal decision. "If you gave
issued it, we shall see you on court!" Tax
payers must not be ill-treated. Anyone can
make a mistake and we have to separate the
mistake from the case when someone does not
want to pay the tax..
Tell us a couple of your characteristics,
family and human elements which would
show that in front of us, apart from a
successful business person, stands a normal
family man with perhaps some specific
human faults and virtues. Tell us how do
you like the life and food in Serbia, and
how do you spend free time, if you actually
have any. We know that you led Slovenian
national team at the World Cup in South
Africa, so we are interested to hear if you
