Piran Joins the Project of Pan-European Cultural Co-operation

Piran, 22 September - The first stage of the pan-European connection, the old trade route, was presented in the Slovene coastal city of Piran on Friday. Slovenia and seven other European countries have gathered in the project to apply for funds granted by the EU between 2001 and 2004. Piran has so far participated in international programmes Interreg II and Culture 2000, as well as established co-operation with Venice, all of which helped Piran join the European cultural project as a city of an associated EU member.
