He was an active member of the Slovene Democratic Party and served as chair of the Education Committee until 2008 when he resigned due to a disagreement. He then became a strong critic of Prime Minister Janez Janša , whom he accused of being a “liberal with an authoritarian touch” who sought to become a “Slovenian Józef Piłsudski ”.
From 1992 to 1993 he was Minister without Portfolio for Slovenes Abroad and Ethnic Minorities in Slovenia in Janez Drnovšek's center-left government . In 2005 he was appointed by Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel to chair the Slovenian-Croatian History Commission, which the governments of the two countries set up to shed light on their relations.
