Our relations are complex and intensive
We have resolved open issues with three of Slovenia’s neighbours, which has resulted in excellent relations with these countries. We want to achieve the same with Croatia. The inability and unwillingness to act constructively and with respect in closing open issues is casting a shadow over our relations.The primary goal of Slovenia’s foreign policy is to ensure peace, security and prosperity, as well as to work towards a strong European Union and a well functioning multilateral system, says H.E. Ms Smiljana Knez, Slovenian Ambassador.
Cooperation is the foundation of long-term progress
The Club’s vision is that development of one neighbour is beneficial to the other. The Club wants to encourage the establishment of links between businesses and other important economic policy stakeholders, and their mutual dialogue with the view of treating each other as friends, associates and partners in the end and establishing trust.

Strong potential for mutual cooperation
The relations between Azerbaijan and Croatia are intensifying and I’m pleased to say that further expansion is under way, along with the excellent political relations and the relations in other segments. I am confident that our cooperation in economy and trade will develop further in the nearest future.
A lot of excitement awaits us
The desire for change and dealing with our reality can be deduced from the performances of the Zagreb Youth Theatre (ZYT), because we are going through personal dramas as a result of social developments. At the same time, when creating a diverse, exciting, quality theatre, we have to fight with the administration and strive to be self-sustaining.
We became wizards
After the exceptional exhibiton called “The Sixties in Croatia”, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, which is one of the oldest European museums of applied arts and the oldest art museum in Croatia, is preparing new surprises for 2019 and 2020 when it will celebrate its 140th anniversary. Artistically and financially, the Museum’s work can be sometimes characterized as borderline miraculous.
I would love to return to these seats
The EU energy policy, especially in the field of transport, the EU defense policy, that has been intensifying over the last few years, and the EU’s enlargement policy are the key issues I have dealt with during my tenure and I would like to continue working on them. However, my candidacy depends on the political party Glas of which I am a member.

“Is it safe to say that the Slovenian economy is now stable and charging ahead?” we asked Zdravko Počivalšek, the Slovenian Economy Minister. In short, the answer was “yes”. Back on track to convergence with more developed Member States, Slovenia has been moving towards an inclusive society in the last few years. While many indicators look promising, there is still room for improvement in research and development, innovation, and digitalisation, which are the key long-term factors of productivity growth, says the minister.
