Slovenia is ready to share the European integration experience with Armenia. This was announced by Slovenian Foreign Minister Tom Kaiser at the press conference held in Yerevan on October 28. Noting the country's rich experience in European integration issues, the minister reminded that Slovenia was once a part of Yugoslavia. "It was not a democratic country." During the referendum, 90 percent of the Slovenian population decided that they wanted democracy, the rule of law and a free economy. To become a member of the EU, the country has come a long way, implemented a number of reforms. According to Tom Kaiser, the core of such a state is the objective judicial system. "But the basis of everything is the will of the people. we need to listen to the people," the minister said, praising Armenia for the progress it has made. Participating in the session of the COP 17 held in Yerevan as part of the visit, the Foreign Minister emphasized the rich biodiversity of the two states and expressed his willingness to exchange experience in this field as well. Kaiser reminded that it was Slovenia that suggested establishing the World Bee Day, and added: "We know how to take care of the environment and at the same time carry out economic activities that do not harm nature. The important thing is to find the right balance to combine nature conservation and people's prosperity."
