Delo: Marathon

Ljubljana, 10 July - Is Slovenia's integration into the EU really similar to a marathon where all the runners who finish the race successfully win, but first Slovenia will have to overcome some difficulties, Delo comments a metaphor used recently by Foreign Minister Boris Frlec to describe the current state of affairs in the Slovene-EU relations. The same metaphor could well be used by those in Slovene ministries dealing with very concrete EU-related issues, according to Delo.
