Slovenia is taking over presidency of EU and we are all a bit curious and worried what this will bring to our day to day lives. Collaps of traffic system? Hordes of EU officials in our regular caffees? Or maybe this 6 months will go by as usual, we shall see.

The final preparations are underway. Gleaming new conference facilities are awaiting guests from across Europe. A new website has been launched to great fanfare. Media outlets are anticipating high-profile political visits, possibly even by George W. Bush. Thousands of administrators are completing final preparations for what will be one of the most demanding projects in Slovenia’s history. The country, commonly seen as the EU’s “A” student, is just days away from presiding over the 490-million strong organization – the first “new”, post-communist EU member to do so.
