Experts

With extensive experience in EU-funded projects, I help individuals and organizations maximize their EU funding potential. My career began at the Slovene Human Resources Development and Scholarship Fund (2012-2016), where I gained valuable insights as a beneficiary involved in ESF projects. From 2016 to 2023, I worked in audit, covering ESF, ERDF, and CF programs, specializing in compliance, audit procedures, and key topics like public procurement and financial instruments. Currently, I work in the Development Funds Directorate at the Ministry of Economy, overseeing the planning, execution, and monitoring of EU-funded projects.
