Ljubljana, 21 February - As the six year-term of the Human Rights Ombudsman ends on Wednesday, Matjaz Hanzek will pass the baton to Zdenka Cebasek Travnik. This marks the end of a turbulent six years in office which saw Hanzek emerge as one of the most powerful and influential human rights advocates in the country.
