From September 4th to September 7th
The Slovenian Guild of Agricultural Journalists and ENAJ organizes a low budget press trip to Slovenia on the occasion of the Informal Council of the EU Ministers of Agriculture. For every guild/association we have two places available and one place for a reserve list if a guild/association doesn’t use its two places. The two places can be two delegates or one delegate and one participant.
For the delegates at the AGM, the program starts Saturday, September 4th in the afternoon with the Annual General Meeting of ENAJ. Delegates of the member guilds/associations are already informed. The participants of the trip are welcome too at this meeting. A member of the Management Committee of ENAJ can be a delegate or a participant. In total there is a maximum of 36 to 40 persons for this trip. It’s the first low budget press trip in one and a half years.
