I support entrepreneurs in Carinthia and advise on posting workers abroad, incl. third-country nationals, documentation & employer obligations.

My organisation

The Slovene Economic Association (SGZ) has been an essential part of business cooperation between Carinthia and Slovenia for more than 35 years. SGZ brings together Slovenian entrepreneurs and economic experts, supporting the economy in Southern Carinthia. Within its management, supervisory board, and advisory council, SGZ offers its members access to professionals from various fields. We provide consulting services in entrepreneurship development, particularly in cross-border cooperation and EU funding, and strive to promote a shared Alpine-Adriatic economic area. With over 300 members from the Alpine-Adriatic region representing a wide range of industries, SGZ forms a strong network for connecting businesspeople in Carinthia and beyond.

About me

My work focuses on economic networking, event organization, and strengthening regional cooperation. I represent the SGZ in various regional and international economic forums.
I also assist in promoting Slovenian culture and business visibility abroad.

As a lecturer and expert in cross-border labor mobility, I presented the key steps involved in posting workers abroad — from activity registration and the handling of third-country nationals (e.g. from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, etc.), required documentation, employer obligations, and how to act during inspections. I emphasized the importance of thorough preparation to avoid sanctions and significant fines.
