Slovenian readers are showing a lot of interest in the Slovenian version of National Geographic, the first issue of which was published on 14 April, Uros Leban of National Geographic Slovenija told STA.
Leban moreover said on Tuesday that National Geographic Slovenija already has 11,026 subscribers, and that 200 more are expected by the end of the day.
The first issue features a variety of stories, among them one on the Gospel of Judas, the wilderness of Alaska and on the Dukes of Cornwall.
A deal to publish National Geographic Slovenija was signed in December in Washington by the Ljubljana publishing house Rokus and the National Geographic Society.
The Slovenian edition is the 29th version of the magazine in a non-English language. The monthly, with a circulation of 8.5 million, has set standards in reporting, photography and mapping.
Rokus has been publishing National Geographic Kids in Slovenia since September 2003, as well as the Croatian and Serbian versions since September 2004. The entire circulation in the Western Balkans stands at 50,000 copies.
A team of experts from different fields review the topics in the magazine, while the Slovenian translations are translated back to English to check the quality.
