Val 202 studio was joined by this iconic personality of TV Slovenia, who is to host the TV programme Odmevi for the last time on the 28th of December. He will say his final words before retirement when hosting the New Year programme: 'And don’t keep your kisses and hugs just for New Year's Eve.'

Bobovnik spent four decades in front of the cameras asking questions, asking and asking, or, as he says, ‘drilling’ into his guests who came from different areas of sociopolitical life. Bobovnik mentioned the late PM Andrej Bajuk as being one of his most demanding guests, whose answer, regardless of the question, was always the same, the one he had planned. Another was Gregor Golobič who constantly had to be interrupted.

Without scandals, but always with moustaches
What was Bobovnik's greatest challenge: politics, the economy or entertainment and culture? 'I was most uncomfortable in the presence of poets, writers, masters of the spoken word,' admitted Bobovnik, who, as opposed to his colleagues, has managed to maintain his privacy throughout all these years.

Bobovnik, who grew up with the Beatles and French chansons, has now revealed the history of his moustaches for the first time. He started sporting a moustache in the army, when he had nothing better to do. He has been sporting them for 40 years. His children have never seen him without moustaches, his wife rarely so.

There have been rumours that Bobovnik might run for president of Slovenia, but he says that he does not see himself in the role of Borut Pahor's successor.
