It may not seem like big news but it is a big deal.
Did you know that Cleveland has the largest population of Slovenians outside of Slovenia?
Because of that, we get a Consul General of the Republic of Slovenia hosted here in Cleveland, with consular jurisdiction over the states of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
On August 22, 2009, The Republic of Slovenia, Ministry of Foreign Affairs relieved Consul General Dr. Zvone Žigon from his official duties in Cleveland, OH. Dr. Žigon completed his four-year diplomatic term. Dr. Žigon was a great guy and will be missed.
Taking over is Mr. Jure Žmauc. Get more details in the Slovenian section of ClevelandPeople.Com
