Solving of future problems together with neighbours

In past weeks two meetings of the Carinthian Municipality Association with both Associations of Slovenian Municipalities were held, the first projects have already been discussed, either on the field of tourism or on the field of renewable energy sources. The Alps-Adriatic Centre (AACC) was involved in the initial preparations and will also in future accompany the new coming projects. We asked the President of the Carinthian Municipality Association Mayor Ferdinand Vouk to comment: “When I started my function as the President of the Association I advised that I would support international cross- country cooperation among municipalities in connection with the Centre, because I want to know urgently, how questions of today’ s time- demographical changes, environmental, energetical and exsistence questions are being solved in other countries. Constant exchanges of opinions will be usefull for all partners and we will be able to create a piece of Europe in our Alps-Adriatic region. The European proverb says: Who begins nothing, creates nothing. Therefore our Association wants to cooperate in future closely with both Slovenian Associations of Munipalities.”
