After the short introduction delivered by the Czech Ambassador Juraj Chmiel the present guests learned the basic information about the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, which is being shared among Slovenia and Croatia, its role in the Slovenian energy mix and Slovenian energy policy, as well as about the plans for future extension and development. The presentations of Mr. Stane Rožman, President of the Management Board of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant and Mr. Martin Novšak, Senior Advisor to the CEO of the GEN Energija company, the owner of the Slovenian share in the Nuclear Power Plant, focused on the role of nuclear energy in times of ongoing energetic and climatic crisis, as well as on the security measures connected to the operation of the Plant. The Ambassadors and other participants also discussed the contemporary challenges faced by Slovenia and the whole Europe.
