Slovenia Weekly: Summer break for the new start

What a week!

A week ago, we invited you to cross your fingers for our athletes at the Olympic Games, and now Slovenia has already won four medals. Benjamin Savšek (gold medal in canoeing) and Primož Roglič (gold medal in cycling), Tina Trstenjak (silver medal in judo) and Tadej Pogačar (bronze medal in cycling) have caused an explosion of joy and positive energy in the country.

Despite of the Olympics, this summer is not as carefree as we would like it to be. The world is turning red again thanks to Covid-19, and we await autumn with mixed feelings. Vaccination seems to be the only solution to tackle the epidemic on the long term, but until most of the society is vaccinated, we cannot talk about recovery.

We hope you can treat yourself with some relaxed days over the next few weeks. Follow us again at the end of August, when we'll offer you some more information on this years' Bled Strategic Forum (1-2 September). The future of Europe will be at the heart of discussions.
