Rajko Pirnat (born March 24, 1951, in Ljubljana , Yugoslavia ) is a Slovenian politician, lawyer and academic.
The breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1980s led to the creation of several new states, among them Slovenia . From May 16, 1990, to May 14, 1992, Pirnat was the Minister of Justice for Slovenia as a member of the Slovenian Democratic Union . In that role, he introduced a denationalization act to undo some of the damage caused by unjust post-war expropriations from 1945 to 1963.[ 1] [ 2] When his party split, he led the new center-right National Democratic Party , but it fared very poorly in the 1992 Slovenian presidential and parliamentary elections.[ 3]
He is a law professor at the University of Ljubljana [ 4] and a former dean of its faculty of law.[ 5] On March 23, 2005, he was appointed to the Joint Supervisory Board of Eurojust as Slovenia's representative and served as its chair from January to June 2008;[ 6] he was still a member as of 2013.[ 7]
