Slovenia and Carinthia for complete construction of Karavanke tunnel

At the meeting, held on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011, the Slovenian Minister of transport Patrik Vlačič and the Carinthian country Governor Gerhard Dorfler agreed to propose- due to the safety reasons- the complete construction of the second tube of the Karavanke road tunnel. For them the building of the safety tube is not acceptable and would be a wrong investment. At this meeting in Kranjska Gora they discussed also other important issues- the construction of the third road axis Celje, Dravograd and Bleiburg and the express bus connection between Klagenfurt and Ljubljana. Both delegations see a big potential in the mutual marketing of the cross border trip connections. Here a joint European project is possible, considering the road connections over Predil, Vršič and Paulitsch mountain pass. . The President of the AACC Bernard Sadovnik was accompanying the Carinthian delegation.
