To mark his first anniversary in the role as the EU’s inaugural Special Envoy for the Freedom of Religion or Belief Outside the EU, EURACTIV.com interviewed Ján Figeľ about the headscarf ban, Islamist terrorism and growing up Catholic in a communist state.

Ján Figeľ will also be speaking at EURACTIV’s Freedom of religion and belief beyond the EU borders event later this month.
