Reality show to help revive run-down village on Italy border

Dobrovo, 17 January - Slapnik, a picturesque tiny village on Slovenia's western edge, is set to come alive again this year after lying abandoned and being left to decay for decades. The idea is to renovate the village and shoot a reality show in the process, using couples from different European countries to do the work.
