Kolumna: Srečo Peterlič Smo obuti v primerno velike čevlje? Pred kratkim sem bil v Turčiji. Z letalom sem se peljal iz Linza do Antalye. Ali lahko moje potovanje kakorkoli povežem z bližnjim predsedovanjem Slovenije Evropski uniji? Lahko. Letališče v Linzu ima dnevno manj kot polovico poletov in pristankov kot Aerodrom Ljubljana, je pa po površini, namenjeni potnikom, vsaj enkrat večje. Antalya ima po uradnih podatkih nekaj več kot pol milijona prebivalcev, po neuradnih pa preko milijon (verjetno štejejo zraven še vse turiste), letališče pa je med najsodobnejšimi in vsaj petkrat večje kot ljubljansko. V polletnem predsedovanju bo v Sloveniji več kot 150 uradnih srečanj EU s pričakovanimi 25-30 tisoč udeleženci in gosti, ki bodo prihajali kot predstavniki in člani delegacij. Verjetno bodo prihajali v jutranjih urah in odhajali zvečer. Ob teh urah je ljubljansko letališče preobremenjeno že brez teh delegacij. Kje in kako bo poskrbljeno za prihode, sprejem delegacij, VIP osebje, varnost itd.? Marsikdo me je že vprašal za mnenje o tem, kakšna je slovenska kongresna ponudba v primerjavi s konkurenco. Odgovarjam: kongresne kapacitete in storitve so nadpovprečne, upoštevati pa je potrebno nekatere omejitve, možnosti in dejstva. Glede na velikost dežele in populacijo imamo nadpovprečno število kongresnih dvoran in drugih kapacitet, po številu mednarodnih dogodkov in udeležencev sodimo med države z bistveno večjo populacijo. Toda, kaj to pomeni pri tako velikem zalogaju, ki nas čaka pred vrati? Trenutno Evropi predseduje Nemčija. Primerjava med Slovenijo in Nemčijo ni smiselna, govorimo seveda o kapacitetah. Mogoče bi se lahko primerjali s Finci, ki so odlično opravili delo lani. Zavedali so se svoje relativne majhnosti in so se pravi čas odlično organizirali. Leto dni prej so imeli v najožji projektni skupini za izvedbo srečanj ekipo osemindvajsetih strokovnjakov, v času predsedovanja preko štirideset z nekaj sto stalnimi zunanjimi sodelavci. Ali vemo, kako močna je trenutno slovenska ekipa? Še pred Finci je predsedovanje organizirala Avstrija. Na Dunaju imajo v primernih hotelih na voljo preko 20.000 sob, v Ljubljani jih je manj kot 2000, ki pa so že sedaj nadpovprečno zasedene. Da ne govorimo o dvoranah in ostalih prostorih za družabna srečanja. Slovenci smo znani kot odlični gostitelji in dobri organizatorji. Verjetno se vsi zavedamo objektivnih danosti in omejitev, v primerjavi z navedenimi deželami. Toda, v zadnjem desetletju smo bili gostitelji lepega števila zelo odmevnih srečanj, kot npr. obiska ameriškega predsednika Clintona, srečanja Bush – Putin, srečanja OVSE, dveh papeževih obiskov … Pričakovano predsedovanje se seveda ne more primerjati z navedenimi dogodki. Niti po obsegu, niti po številu dogodkov, niti po potrebnih kapacitetah, niti po zahtevni logistiki, niti po varnosti in varovanju, niti po potrebni zasedbi in obsegu projektne izvedbene skupine. Je pa pričakovani projekt nadgradnja vseh dosedanjih. Prepričan sem, da smo ga Slovenci sposobni odlično izpeljati. Za začetek ugotovimo, ali smo obuti v primerno velike čevlje, nato pa stopimo skupaj. Slovenski kongresni ponudniki smo pripravljeni. Pri projektu mogoče niti nismo vsi potrebni, upravičeno pa pričakujemo, da bo odlična izvedba posledično za vse nas priložnost za prihodnji razvoj kongresne dejavnosti, kot se je to zgodilo Avstrijcem in Fincem. Nestrpno pričakujem spletno stran predsedovanja Slovenije, upam, da bo na njej števec dnevov, ki so še na voljo do 1.1.2008.

Column: Srečo Peterlič Are we fitted with Shoes of the appropriate Size? I was in Turkey a short time ago, having travelled by plane from Linz to Antalya. I wondered whether there was any possibility of linking my travel with the upcoming Slovenian Presidency of the EU? I could. Although there are fewer landings and takeoffs per day at Linz airport than at Aerodrom Ljubljana, it is at least twice as big in terms of the surface area available for passengers. Then, although Antalya officially has somewhat over half a million inhabitants, unofficially this figure exceeds one million (with tourists included, most likely). The airport there is one of the most contemporary airports in the world and is at least five times the size of Ljubljana Airport. Over 150 official EU meetings will be held in Slovenia during the half-year Presidency, with around 25-30,000 participants and guests expected, bringing with them representatives and members of delegations. They will probably arrive in the mornings and leave in the evenings. Currently, Ljubljana Airport is already overburdened at these times, even without these delegations. So where and how will the arrival and reception of delegations, VIPs, security and so on be implemented? A lot of people have asked me for my opinion regarding the Slovenian offer of meeting services in comparison with that of the competition. My answer is that while meeting venues and services are above average, several restrictions and facts must be observed. We have an above average number of meeting halls and other venues for the size of the country and the population, and we are a country with an essentially greater number of international events and participants. So what does this mean with regard to the major challenge awaiting us? At the moment, Germany holds the European Presidency. Of course, a comparison between Slovenia and Germany would not be sensible. Perhaps we can compare ourselves to the Finns, however, who performed an excellent job last year. Aware of their relatively small size, they did an excellent job nevertheless and organised themselves at the right time. A year before, they had a team of 28 experts in the narrowest project group, and then over 40 experts and several hundred permanent outworkers during the Presidency. Do we know how strong the Slovenian team is currently? Austria organised the Presidency before the Finns. Vienna has over 20,000 rooms in appropriate hotels. There are less than 2,000 in Ljubljana, and these are already filled above average, not to mention the meeting halls and other venues for social meetings. We Slovenes are known as excellent hosts and organisers. We are probably all aware of our objective resources and restrictions in comparison with the above mentioned countries. Nevertheless, we’ve hosted a good number of extremely successful meetings in the last decade, such as President Clinton’s visit, the Bush/Putin meeting, the OVSE meetings, two visits of Pope, etc. The upcoming Presidency, of course, cannot compare to these events in terms of scope, the number of events, the venues required, the necessary logistics, security and protection or in terms of staff – and nor can the scope of the project implementation groups. We can, however expect a project upstaging all previous ones and I am certain that Slovenes are capable of executing it with excellence. Firstly, we all find out if we are fitted with the appropriate size shoes, then we step forward together. We, the Slovenian meeting providers are prepared. Perhaps not all of us will be required for the project, but nevertheless we can rightfully expect that its excellent execution will consequently be an opportunity for the future development of meeting activates for us, as experienced by the Austrians and Finns. I await the website of the Slovenian Presidency with impatience, and I hope it includes a countdown of the number of days left until 1 January 2008.
