Slovenia has been given a chance for promotion at the Expo Gate, a venue in the centre of Milan, this weekend, a privilege given to only a handful of participants at the fair.

The Expo Gate event will present several Slovenian regions and will be packed with musical and dance performances. It will also present the country's cuisine through stories and cooking demonstrations.

Moreover, the start of the FIS World Cup Ski Jumping Finals in Planica will be accompanied by a reception for international journalists in Kranjska Gora on Thursday.

According to Slovenia's Expo web page, Planica, an Alpine valley with several jumping hills, is a living proof that Slovenia is a green, active and healthy country, which is its motto for the Expo.
