On 11 and 12 April 2022, PAP/RAC had the pleasure of welcoming to its premises the Focal Point of Slovenia, Mr. Mitja Bricelj, accompanied by three of his eminent colleagues from the Slovenian Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning and from the EUSAIR Facility Point from the Municipality of Izola. In addition to his function as PAP/RAC Focal Point, Mr. Bricelj is also a member of the UNEP/MAP Bureau and Coordinator of the environment pillar of EUSAIR.
The objectives of the meeting were to discuss the ongoing projects in the Adriatic with a view of ensuring better coordination and integration for more synergies, to reflect on possible new projects and to prepare the intervention of PAP/RAC at the EUSAIR Forum in Tirana, Albania (16-17 May 2022).
Particular attention was given to the main common challenges requiring better synergies, such as marine spatial planning, implementation of the integrated monitoring and assessment program, sustainable fisheries, marine litter, and blue and green corridors for sustainable supply.
