The Government designated all three events as national projects of strategic importance for the international promotion of Slovenia in the fields of tourism, the economy and sport, with particular emphasis also placed on the importance of ensuring equal opportunities in the case of the World Para Biathlon Championships.
The Slovenian stage of the Giro d’Italia is scheduled for 9 May 2027. Pokljuka is expected to host the Open European Biathlon Championships from 27 to 31 January 2027 and the World Para Biathlon Championships from 22 to 28 February 2027.
The Government expressed its support for the organisers' further activities aimed at securing the right to host both championships at Pokljuka as part of the bidding process conducted by the International Biathlon Union (IBU).
