Novo mesto, 24 September

The city of Novo mesto won the bronze award at this year's Entente Florale Europe, the European Competition for Towns and Villages in Bloom, which took place on 21 September in Harrogate, the UK, Novo mesto Mayor Alojzij Muhic told the press on Monday.

According to Muhic, Novo mesto was competing with 12 European cities for the award conferred by the European Association for Flowers and Landscape.
According to the mayor's adviser for tourism, Ivan Kuljaj, the award is an exceptional success for the Novo mesto municipality. The silver award was only half a point away, while Novo mesto was the only city to receive a special award for untainted nature around the nearby Krka river, he said.
The municipality sees the award as a confirmation of its policy of giving Novo mesto an image of contemporary and well-maintained city, added Kuljaj.
