V tak\u0161ni obliki je ostal do leta 2004, ko je bil vzpostavljen kot samostojna vladna slu\u017eba in ume\u0161\u010den neposredno pod pristojnost predsednika vlade. &nbsp;V obeh primerih je Urad vodil dr\u017eavni sekretar. Tak\u0161na ureditev je obveljala do leta 2008, ko je njegov predstojnik postal minister brez listnice. S tem je bil poudarjen pomen in potencial, ki ga imajo za Slovenije rojaki zunaj njenih meja.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Funkcijo ministra za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu sta poznali osamosvojitvena in prva poosamosvojitvena vlada, takrat \u0161e brez organizacijskega okvirja urada. V procesu demokratizacije, osamosvojitve in mednarodnega priznanja Republike Slovenije so Slovenci izven meja mati\u010dne domovine namre\u010d odigrali pomembno vlogo. Z nastopom nove vlade leta 1993 je bilo mesto ministra ukinjeno, imenovan pa je bil dr\u017eavni sekretar kot vodja sektorja znotraj MZZ. Kmalu so se za\u010dele aktivnosti za ustanovitev urada, kot avtonomnega upravnega organa v sestavi MZZ, do \u010desar je pri\u0161lo oktobra 1994.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Ustava Republike Slovenije, ki je bila sprejeta leta 1992, v 5. \u010dlenu dr\u017eavo obvezuje k posebni skrbi za Slovence v zamejstvu, zdomstvu in izseljenstvu. Ocenjuje se namre\u010d, da naj bi zunaj meja Slovenije \u017eivelo vsaj pol milijona Slovencev in njihovih potomcev. Ta \u010dlen ustave predvideva tudi poseben zakon, ki naj bi urejal odnose med Slovenijo in rojaki zunaj mati\u010dne domovine. Podro\u010dni zakon je bil nato sprejet leta 2006 (Zakon o odnosih Republike Sloveni s Slovenci zunaj njenih meja). Zakon je uvedel funkcijo ministra brez listnice in potrdil obstoj urada kot vladne slu\u017ebe, ki vodi, usmerja in koordinira dejavnosti Republike Slovenije na podro\u010dju odnosov med matico in rojaki v zamejstvu ter po svetu. Urad tako sodeluje z vsemi ostalimi resorji pri doseganju skupnih ciljev.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><div class=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"vce-feature-section-container vce-feature-section-media--xs\"><div class=\"vce vce-feature-section vce-feature-section--min-height vce-feature-section--reverse\" id=\"el-ac4c7ba8\" data-vce-do-apply=\"margin border animation backgroundColor el-ac4c7ba8\"><div class=\"vce-feature-section-image vce-feature-section-image--alignment-right\" data-vce-background-image-all=\"https:\/\/slovenci.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC_0661-scaled.jpg\" data-vce-background-image=\"all\" data-vce-lozad=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"backgroundImage el-ac4c7ba8\"><\/div><div class=\"vce-feature-section-content\"><div class=\"vce-feature-section-content-container\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-ac4c7ba8\"><div class=\"vce-feature-section-description\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Vodstvo urada<br><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Dosedanji predstojniki Urada za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">dr.
