In his address, the Prime Minister praised the implementation of the railway station upgrade and thanked the contractors and all those who designed and supervised the works and managed the investment on behalf of the Government.

The Prime Minster stressed the importance of the renovation of Nova Gorica Railway Station. "Here in Nova Gorica, the coordinated efforts of the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Government Office for Slovenians Abroad, and Deputy Prime Minister Matej Arčon, in cooperation with the municipalities of Nova Gorica and Gorizia, integrated activities at different levels, including international, to set the two towns as an example for all of Europe," said the Prime Minister. He added that together they strived to connect cultural activities with investments in infrastructure. "We are opening up a new future for Nova Gorica and Gorizia in which they will shine together. This investment has a great symbolic significance. It will bring the two towns closer and allow them to function in even greater harmony.

The Prime Minster linked the opening of the railway station with the European Capital of Culture Nova Gorica–Gorizia GO!25. "This was the driving force, the umbrella under which many ideas and visions were brought together. Today, we are opening not only this railway station, but also a new future for Nova Gorica and Gorizia. A future the whole of Europe will talk about after next Saturday. As of the next week, both towns will shine brighter on the map of Europe," concluded Prime Minister Golob.
