Mr Gershkovich thanked the Prime Minister on his own behalf, on behalf of his family and on behalf of the newspaper for Slovenia's role in this historic swap.

This was followed by a vote of thanks from the newspaper's management. Slovenia's cooperation had put Slovenia on the right side, the side of media freedom. Evan's return was described as being like a "game of chess", a great event for him, his loved ones, the newspaper and the whole journalistic profession.
