The main topics of their discussion were the fight against hate speech in sports and opportunities for the development of motorsport in Slovenia.

Prime Minister Golob and FIA President Ben Sulayem agreed that action to prevent hate speech must be stepped up. Sports are a key platform for this, as athletes are often role models, especially for young people. Concerted action on the part of governments, sports organisations and other stakeholders can bring the best results. For this reason, Golob and Ben Sulayem called for the exchange of best practices in this area, including those involving advanced technologies.

Prime Minister Golob and FIA President Ben Sulayem also exchanged their views on the development of motorsport. They highlighted the importance of sustainable development and green innovations in this sport, including potential projects in Slovenia.
