The Counsellor of the Carinthian Government Christian Benger discussed the future European and international projects with the Minister for Economic Development Zdravko Počivalšek , the Minister of Culture Julijana Bizjak Mlakar and her State Secretary Anton Peršak . »In the Alps-Adriatic space I see big possibilities and opportunities for our mutual region«, Benger described his visit in Ljubljana. The Slovenian partners want to intensify especially the cooperation in the fields of creative economy and start-ups, this means by creation of innovative companies. The partners stressed the possibility of a positive development – in spite of savings – primarily on the basis of the cooperation in the economy or culture. The Counsellor Benger afterwards visited also the Mayor of Nova Gorica Matej Arčon , since this region will in the future be able to participate in the funds in the frame of programmes of EU for Carinthia. From the side of the AACC Bernard Sadovnik and Filip Warasch accompanied the Counselor on his visit.
