Copenhagen to Serve as Model for Traffic in Ljubljana

Ljubljana, 17 October

The transport ministers of Slovenia and Sweden, Janez Bozic and Flemming Hansen, agreed at a meeting on Tuesday that the ministries would draw up a concept for traffic in Ljubljana modeled on the experience of Copenhagen. The draft could be ready in 8-12 months, Bozic said after talks with Hansen.

Bozic and Hansen established that Denmark and Slovenia had similar traffic problems. According to Hansen, increased traffic in cities is a problem, but one which Denmark has been tackling successfully compared to other European cities.
Hansen said investment in infrastructure is made for ten years, whereby the investment plan for the next period is made five years into implementation of the first period.
After talks in Ljubljana, the ministers headed for the Port of Koper, Slovenia's lone maritime port and a key trans-shipment hub for central Europe.
Port operator Luka Koper has been working with Danish shipping agent Maersk Sealand, which has recently voiced interest in investing in a container terminal in Koper.
