Enewsletter EMBASSY of the REPUBLIC of SLOVENIA in TEL AVIV November – December 2017 eNEWSLETTER EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA IN TEL AVIV November – December 2017 HAPPENING NOW Slovenia's President Pahor wins second term On November 12, 2017 Slovenian President Borut Pahor was re-elected for a second term in a runoff vote, beating his challenger in a tight race. In the first round three weeks before, Mr. Pahor received about 47 percent of the vote among nine candidates. In the second round, Mr. Pahor had won 53 percent of the vote, according to the Election Commission, while his opponent, ex-comedian, Mayor of Kamnik, Marjan Šarec, had 47 percent. "I will be the President of all (Slovenians), I will connect people, build upon the things we have in common," Pahor told reporters after securing another five- year mandate. He had said that he would focus on cooperation, political stability and security. On July 5, 2017, President Borut Pahor conferred on Mrs. Steiner Aviezer the Medal of Merits for her work related to the remembrance of the Slovenian righteous and their brave humanitarian acts to save Jews during the Holocaust. 1 SLOVENIA IN ISRAEL Slovenian Presence in Israel - Slovenian Memorial Plaque in Ein Kerem At the courtyard of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Ein Kerem there is a plque with religious text in Slovenian languagedonated by Slovenian pilgrims and Franciscans in 1991. Christians from all over the world are drawn to the exquisitely peaceful village of Ein Kerem, the place where it is believed Saint John the Baptist was born. Sheltered behind iron gates, the Church of Saint John the Baptist contains the grotto in which the birth is believed to have taken place. Encompassed with trees and breathtaking view of the Judean Hills beyond, the church stands as a monument to an ancient and enduring faith. Ambassador Barbara Sušnik visited the site on 29 December. Photos: VTA 2 Protection of Children against Sexual Abuse Ambassador Barbara Sušnik hosted at her residence a working meeting on the issue of fight against violence against women and sexual abuse of children, and discussed, together with Ambassadors of Cyprus, Ecuador, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Latvia and Croatia the possible cooperation with and support to Israeli civil and business society in addressing these issues, ahead of the European Day on the Protection of Children against Sexual Abuse, established by the Council of Europe and marked every year on 18 November. Representatives of L.Raphael (who published the awareness-raising video Tom's Secret) and representatives of Israeli Rape Victims Centers participated, as well as several gender consultants, activists and publishers, who are dealing with these issues. Discussion at the residence, Photo: VTA Gimnazija Maribor student delegation visits Haifa HaReali High school for the 5th year On December 5, 2017 students from the II. Gimnazija Maribor and the Hebrew Reali School Haifa, who participated in an exchange program taking place in Israel, visited the Slovenian Embassy in Tel Aviv. The delegation of 22 students and 3 professors was received by Mr. Blaž Masle, who presented the role and work of the Embassy and the cooperation between Slovenia and Israel. They also discussed with great interest the similarities and diversities between Slovenia and Israel. The students of the Hebrew Reali School in Haifa are expected to visit Maribor next year. The cooperation between the high-schools of Maribor and Haifa started already 5 years ago. 3 Student delegation at the Embassy.

Source: MKGP 17 November, Slovenian Food Day, was an even more special day for Slovenia. The Second Committee of the UN General Assembly approved the draft resolution on the designation of 20 May as World Bee Day. The resolution was then sent to the UN General Assembly for formal adoption, which is expected in mid-December. “I take it that the Committee wishes to adopt this Draft Resolution? / I hear no objection, the Draft Resolution is adopted.” With these words, the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly concluded Slovenia’s motion to adopt the draft resolution on the designation of 20 May as World Bee Day. The resolution was thus approved and sent to the UN General Assembly for formal adoption in mid-December. 4 The initiative to designate 20 May as World Bee Day was supported by all of the nations of the world, and 115 countries (including all of the EU Member States, as well as other large countries such as the USA, China, Russia, Brazil, Australia, Indonesia and Israel) signed on as co-sponsors of the resolution. On the occasion, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Dejan Židan said: “After three years of hard work, we are nearing our goal. The unanimous support of the Second Committee strengthened our expectations that the United Nations will proclaim World Bee Day at the plenary session of the General Assembly in December. Why are Slovenia’s efforts towards the designation of World Bee Day important? The world sees our country’s efforts and activities as an important contribution to the fight against world hunger. Every third mouthful of food depends on bees and other pollinators, which are threatened by climate change, chemicals and environmental stress. The future growth of agricultural production will depend on our awareness of the importance of bees and other pollinators, and our willingness to help them and protect them.” The initiative for the designation of 20 May as World Bee Day has come a long way from the original initiative conceived by the President of the Slovenian Beekeepers' Association in 2014, when many people were unconvinced of the idea’s potential and viewed it as unrealistic. After receiving support from the President of Slovenia in 2014, an awareness-raising campaign was conducted in 2015 focusing on countries, organisations and the general public. This was followed by activities at the UN level. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), based in Rome, played a crucial role in the official procedure for adoption, which was then taken up by the UN in New York. Even before its official deliberation, the World Bee Day initiative enjoyed broad support, confirming that concern for bees is shared among many countries. Slovenia was known for its concern for bees, and began to gain a reputation as a beekeeping country in which every 200th person keeps bees, a country which is proud of its excellent beekeepers and its well-developed beekeeping industry. Furthermore, many of Slovenia’s activities and measures were recognised as examples of good practice, and several countries began expressing interest in strengthening cooperation in this area. This type of cooperation was also the starting point for the initiating or strengthening of cooperation in other areas and on specific projects. This was followed by the firm and steady support of the FAO. The initiative received unanimous support from the member states of the FAO’s Committee on Agriculture and the FAO Council, and at the 2017 FAO Conference. The FAO Conference in July 2017 gave its final approval of a resolution to designate 20 May as World Bee Day, and adopted the decision to submit a resolution for deliberation and adoption by the UN General Assembly in New York. This was followed from July to September of this year by the drafting of a new resolution, which was sent to all UN member states, with a request for continued support. Informal consultations on the draft resolution were begun at the beginning of October. The negotiations on the draft resolution were concluded before the submission of the draft resolution to the Second Committee for official deliberation on 18 October. The resolution was officially presented at the plenary session of the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly on 1 November.

The Slovenian Tourist Board collaborates in this project in line with its goal to support destinations and products with an emphasis on sustainable development. EDEN is a European Commission project which since 2007 has brought together locations and areas that are developing environmentally, culturally and socially responsible tourism. Slovenia has been involved in the project since 2008, and today boasts seven winning destinations and 14 finalists. The EDEN project facilitates international promotion, recognition, education, linking and exchange of best practices, and is based on national selections that take place every other year; these result in the selection of the winning destination of excellence, as well as the finalist destinations. The European Commission chose cultural tourism as this year’s overarching selection theme. A total of 14 applications were received in the public call, covering the territory of 35 Slovenian municipalities. The expert committee for EDEN in Slovenia, headed by Janez Bogataj, ethnologist and EDEN ambassador, selected four finalists: Radol’ca, Ptuj, the Karst (Kras), Slovenske Konjice and the winning destination, which was selected through evaluations in the field. The title of European Destination of Excellence 2017 was awarded to Koper – a unique example of the coexistence of history, culture, nature, tourism and modernity. The European Commission and Slovenian Tourist Board include the destinations holding this prestigious title in their promotional activities. Destinations of excellence also become members of the Slovenian EDEN network, and gain the chance to join the European EDEN association, which fosters the promotion and exchange of best practices associated with the sustainable development of tourism.

Carved grey Istrian limestone, eight squares situated at the outer edge of the town covered with a carpet of white stone, eleven other squares, remnants of an ancient city wall, narrow intertwining streets leading to the main square, boasting the largest cathedral in Slovenia - all this narrates the story of the past and of the present moment. Step by step the facades of the buildings and their interiors reveal the millennial history of Koper, once Iustinopolis, Capris, evoke the era of the Venetian Republic, the golden age of the Gothic and Renaissance - up to the present moment. The climax of the summer in Koper - the Yellow night with the largest and longest lasting fireworks, with the greatest number of events taking place in the open air, a family holiday, a real national festivity. Let yourself go to the rhythm of the summer, enjoy the theater performances taking place within the ancient city wals, and in winter drink a toast to the coming New Year and to all the years to come.

Pirano rappresenta un Nunicum nella penisola istriana. In età veneziana era la seconda città per importanza dopo Capodistria, capoluogo della provincia di San Marco. Il sale e il suo commercio avevano giocato un ruo- lo di primo piano, senza l’‘oro bianco’ la storia della città di San Giorgio avrebbe registrato un corso decisamente diverso. Invece rappresentò la sua fortuna e al tem- po stesso la differenziò dagli altri conte- sti urbani. Tale condizione privilegiata si riflesse sull’intera collettività come pure sulla dimensione culturale in senso lato. Il retaggio piranese, infatti, è notevole. Per un insieme di circostanze fortuite, la cittadina non conobbe devastazioni, sac- cheggi, scempi che alterassero la sua fi- sionomia, anzi, un forte senso civico e la consapevolezza dell’importanza rivestita dalla cura della memoria storica e delle te- stimonianze dei tempi andati, hanno fatto sì che Pirano annoverasse un corpus ampio ed articolato di elementi che parlano del suo passato.
