President of Slovenia meets Catalan leader Quim Torra

The President of Slovenia, Borut Pahor, met on Thursday Catalan leader Quim Torra in Ljubljana.

Both leaders held a private conversation and discussed the "good cooperation" between Slovenia and Catalonia.

President Quim Torra is on an official trip in Slovenia, where he also had meetings with former President Milan Kučan, and former Foreign Affairs minister and now MEP Ivo Vajgl.

The Catalan leader will give a conference in the Council of Ljubljana about the political situation in Catalonia.

Torra's talk, titled 'Catalunya: de la gàbia constitucional espanyola a la llibertat' (Catalonia: from the Spanish constitutional cage to freedom) will be introduced by the former Slovenian president, Milan Kučan, and the country's former foreign minister, Ivo Vajgl.

On Friday, president Torra will go to Slovenia's Chamber of Commerce and Industry to meet with potential Slovenian and Croatian investors.

On the same day, he will also go to the town of Medvode to visit the memorial to Franc Rozman, a Slovenian national hero who volunteered as a member of the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War. While there, Torra will present Rozman's granddaughter with a commemorative plaque.
