New Slovenian jury member17 / 10 / 2019

AUTOBEST Jury is proudly announcing the membership of Matjaz Korošak representing Slovenia.

‘I was both amazed and surprised, when my dear (and highly respected) colleague Dusan Lukič asked me, If I would join AUTOBEST jury – as his replacement. Knowing AUTOBEST organization, its importance in automotive world and knowing the idea behind it, my answer was of course just – I would love to join the jury. I just hope that I can go on effectively and succesfully where Dusan stopped – in the company of best and renowned European motoring journalists’, stated Matjaz.

He is replacing Dusan Lukič, who left the journalism for the other side of the auto industry.
‘It has been only 2 years before a new job has forced me to resign form the jury, but my time as a AUTOBEST jury member was fun, interesting and full of new information. Being in a company of most renowned European motoring journalists and being able to access new cars and technologies very early in their development process has given me new insights and expiriences. I’m 100% conviced that Mr. Korosak will be a great member of the AUTOBEST jury and I wish him and the rest of the jury all the best. I’m sure AUTOBEST will not only remain the most relevant jury of its kind in Europe, but also find new wasy to judge upcoming generations of cars and technologies and give our readers even more insights into them.’, said Dusan.
