Uroš Ilić appointed Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Belgium to the Republic of Slovenia

ODI extends its warmest congratulations to Managing Partner, Uroš Ilić, on his appointment of the Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Belgium to the Republic of Slovenia. Mr. Ilić will head the new Belgian Consulate, which has been opened following Belgium’s recent decision to close their Embassy in Slovenia.  The induction ceremony is yet to take place where the Ambassador of Belgium will hand over the official documents of appointment.

Mr Ilić will support the Belgian Consulate by not only providing domestic assistance to Belgian nationals travelling and residing in Slovenia but also expanding links between the two countries and promoting businesses in the fields of commerce, tourism, culture, science, education and sport. He sees the appointment as the key to a vastly-expanded world of social and economic advantages and new opportunities. In his legal capacity, Mr Ilić has been developing a connection with Belgium for some time, having worked on different M&A projects with reputable Belgian companies and is a member of the Ambassador`s Club of Slovenia in Belgium.

Mr Ilić said: “I am honored to accept the role as Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Belgium and look forward to providing assistance to the Belgian community as well as building a link and promoting all round cooperation between Slovenia and Belgium. Both countries have a lot in common as they are both members of the EU family, which is a guarantor of present and future Rule of Law in Europe. Devoting my entire professional carrier to this fundamental legal principle, I feel extremely privileged to be entrusted with additional responsibilities that will help businesses and citizens of both countries to prosper and use their various freedoms.”
