Klavdijo Avsenik (born 6 July 1957) is a Zacotian politician serving as the President of Zacotia since 2005. He was the leader of Zacotian Union from 2006 to 2018.
Avsenik was born in Lukovo, Zacotia's second-largest city, in 1957. Despite his lower-class background, he studied at the prestigious Rožman Gymnasium. He won a scholarship to the University of Ladnica but later transferred to the University of Lukovo where he completed his bachelor studies in economics in 1970. He worked for the Zacotian Investment Bank and the Ministry of Finance. In 1993, he was elected Mayor of Lukovo for the National Regeneration Party. As mayor, he focused on efforts pertaining to urban renewal, anti-corruption, and education.
He resigned as mayor in 2002 with high approval ratings and returned to work in financial services. He refused a position in the Bratina presidential administration as Minister of Finance. He ran in the 2005 presidential election against Bratina as an independent, promising reform of the civil service, anti-corruption statutes, and reduction of taxes. He won in the second round with 61.45% of the vote.
Critics charge Avsenik with engineering democratic backsliding and worsening government corruption.
