Miroslav Cerar Jr. (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈmíːrɔslaw ˈt͡sɛ̀ːrar ˈjúːnjɔr], known as Miro Cerar [ˈmíːrɔ ˈt͡sɛ̀ːrar]; born 25 August 1963) is a Slovenian lawyer and politician who has been the 10th Prime Minister of Slovenia since 18 September 2014. With a non-political background and as one who was relatively new to politics at the time of his appointment as Prime Minister, Cerar leads the centrist Modern Centre Party, formerly named eponymously the Party of Miro Cerar.
Cerar was born in Ljubljana, and is the son of Miroslav, an Olympic gymnastics champion who later became a lawyer, and Zdenka Cerar (1941–2013), the first female State Prosecutor General of the Republic of Slovenia (1999-2004), Minister of Justice (2004) and Vice-President of the Liberal Democracy of Slovenia. In her youth she was twice Youth Champion in gymnastics in Yugoslavia and a member of the Yugoslav team. After she ended her active career, she became a coach and referee. In his Early years his family moves to Grosuplje. His father soon started working in his own law firm, that he took over from the father of later State prosecutor Barbara Brezigar, born Gregorin. In 1967 family got larger, as his sister Alenka was born. In his primary school he was a good student, particularly interested in mathematics and chess. As his father was one of the greatest sportsmen in Slovenian history, Miroslav Cerar jr. also tried himself in sports. He played football and basketball, but he also tried himself in skying. As a youngster he entered into a music school, where he learned to play an accordion for six years. His effort soon bore fruit as in 1976 he became the lead accordion in Courier mail, which was carried by the pioneers from school to school in the wake of Tito's relay.
