Slovenia Weekly: #EURO2024 - Our hearts beat for Slovenia

The school year is coming to an end in Slovenia and this is always a special time for students, parents and teachers. After months of hard work and learning, the school gates are closing and it's time to relax, play and explore new hobbies. We wish all pupils a pleasant and relaxing holiday and parents peaceful moments and lots of joy as they accompany their children on their summer adventures.

The beginning of summer always brings many opportunities to enjoy nature, rivers, lakes and, of course, the Slovenian coast. Slovenian tourism offers a wide range of activities, from sports to culture, to suit all tastes and ages. We invite you to explore the hidden corners of our country, visit local festivals and indulge in summer delights.

But, of course, sport is in the spotlight these days: Slovenia's volleyball players have qualified for the Olympic Games and our footballers proved that they are among the best in the first two EURO2024 matches against Denmark and Serbia.

We are now eagerly awaiting Tuesday's match. Join the many sports enthusiasts and let your heart beat for Slovenia!
