Green Ljubljana Ambassadors

In spring, within the framework of the European Green Capital 2016 project, we invited citizens of Ljubljana to be ambassadors of the green Ljubljana. Over hundred individuals responded to our call and among them we chose twelve to represent our green capital with pleasure and pride. Now we are introducing the first six whose views of the green Ljubljana and its presentation to the world convinced the expert jury.
These are Tanja Njegovan, Silvija Pavčič, Nika Bosnič, Nada Tarman, Miha Pongrac together with Filip Kržišnik, and Blaž Slanič. Their faces are going to serve as additional promotion of Ljubljana, this year’s European Green Capital. The remaining six ambassadors are going to be introduced to the public in autumn.
