Over the past month, we have witnessed devastating floods that have affected certain areas of Slovenia. I invite you to join me on August 23 at 6 p.m. at Kongresni trg in Ljubljana, where I will be happy to sign autographs and take photos with you. ✍️🤳 For each photo and autograph, I will donate €10 to charity to help repair the damage and assist those affected by the floods. Regardless of how many of you show up, we will donate at least €10,000.
I am looking forward to meeting you all in Ljubljana. Thank you.
On Wednesday, we witnessed an extraordinary event at the Congress Square in Ljubljana, which united the hearts of all Slovenian citizens. Sport has an extraordinary power to bring people together, which we felt once again on this occasion. However, the event was not only about sport, but also demonstrated a deep sense of humanity.
Tadej Pogačar, an exceptional cyclist and proud ambassador of our country, has stepped into the spotlight of charity. With his unique approach, he collected 1,793 signatures and 1,214 photographs, rounding it all off with a donation of €10,000. This wonderful sum of €30,000 will go to those who find themselves in difficult life situations. This is real proof that sport can achieve more than just victories in competitions, but also has the power to change lives for the better.
We are also delighted with the contribution made by our fans, who have shown their generous charitable hearts. They have raised an incredible €7,484.01, which will also go to those in need. This awareness that together we can be part of something bigger and more important fills us with pride.
Sincere thanks go to Tadej Pogačar, who, with his generosity and inclusive approach, showed how a passion for sport can transcend the boundaries of competition. We would also like to thank all those who, despite the heat, patiently queued up yesterday to become part of this unforgettable story. Together, we created an invaluable mosaic of a beautiful event that will live on in our hearts for a long time to come.
