Biography

Born in Kočevje, southern Slovenia, Ivan Jurkovič was ordained to the priesthood on 29 June 1977. Jurkovič obtained a theology degree from the University of Ljubljana. He was trained as diplomat in the Pontifical University and entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See in 1984, serving as a secretary in the Pontifical Representations in South Korea. In 1988 he obtained Doctor of Canon Law degree and from 1988 to 1992 served as a financial auditor in the Pontifical Representations in Colombia.

From 1992 to 1996 he was appointed as consultant to the Apostolic Nunciature in Russia. At the same time he served as Professor of Canon Law at the St. Thomas Institute of Philosophy, Theology and History in Moscow, where he published the following books: "Marriage Law" (Moscow, 1993), "Canon Law on the People of God" (Moscow, 1993), "Latin-Russian Dictionary of Terms and Expressions of the Code of Canon Law" (with A. Koval, Moscow, 1995), "Canon Law on the People of God and Marriage" (Second edition, Moscow, 2000). Then he worked as a consultant in the OSCE.

On 28 July 2001, Pope John Paul II appointed him Titular Archbishop of Krbava and Apostolic Nuncio to Belarus.[1] Jurkovič received his episcopal consecration on 6 October in Ljubljana from Cardinal Angelo Sodano, with Cardinal Franc Rode and Archbishop Edmond Y. Farhat serving as co-consecrators.

He was reassigned as Nuncio to Ukraine on 22 April 2004.[2]

Jurkovič was named Nuncio to Russia on 19 February 2011,[3] just fourteen months after the establishment of full diplomatic relations between Russia and the Holy See.[4] On 22 July 2011 Jurkovič was named Nuncio to Uzbekistan as well.[5]

On 13 February 2016, Pope Francis named him Permanent Observer to the United Nations in Geneva.[6]

Jurkovič is a Conventual Chaplain Grand Cross ad honorem of the Sovereign Military Order of Hospitalers of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta.

gollark: Also, even if you don't consciously pay attention to them they're still *there* and being processed.

gollark: Oh, so manipulation is fine if it doesn't work that well?

gollark: Yep!
