Slovenian–Bavarian relations, nurtured for over five decades by the Permanent Slovenian-Bavarian Mixed Commission, are an example of successful regional cooperation in Europe. They are strengthened through political, economic and cultural ties, and in particular through Slovenians living in Bavaria, who maintain their language, traditions and ties to their homeland. Joint efforts show that the power of cooperation is greater than any single achievement. For this reason, the present issue of Sinfo is devoted entirely to what we have been building together throughout this period.
This issue is available exclusively in Slovenian and German.
This issue focuses mostly on the Bled Strategic Forum. What prompted it was a vision of Slovenia as a hub of knowledge exceeding political and regional frameworks. Fruitful, at times even contentious discussions throughout the years, paired with remarkable speakers, paved the way for excellent cooperation and regional development. That is why you will surely enjoy reading the statements and reflections of the Slovenian political and business representatives whose important contributions made the Forum into what it is today.
