The celebration symbolically took place near the “Europe Square, on which 20 years ago the then President of European Commission Romano Prodi and then Prime Minister dr Anton Rop were counting down the last seconds before joining the Union of European countries, which was one of the turning points in the lives of Slovenian citizens.
In addition to European commissioner for crisis management Janez Lenarčič, the guests were also addressed by the Prime Minister dr Robert Golob who said: “Europe is only strong if it is united, and it is only as strong as it is in solidarity.
