He regularly lectures on the public - service employment and pay system.

From 2007 to 2014 he represented Slovenia in expert groups on public management, employment relations and pay within the OECD and the informal European Public Administration Network (EUPAN). During Slovenia's 2008 Presidency of the Council of the EU, he chaired its social - dialogue group.
