HUNGARY<br />
The country lies between the eastern Alps and the northern tip of Adriatic sea,<br />
which extends almost into the middle of the continent, thus providing the cheapest<br />
naval route from Far eastern markets to Central Europe. The well developed<br />
traffic infrastructure, Port of Koper and Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport form a perfect<br />
logistics gateway for Slovenia-based companies to the key European markets.<br />
Large commercial and industrial hubs like Vienna, Munich, Milan or Budapest are<br />
just a few hours drive away. The distance between Port of Koper and Ljubljana Jože<br />
Pučnik Airport is about 130 kilometres.<br />
Slovenia has the highest GDP and the least corruption 1 among so called “new<br />
EU members” 2 . The country’s highly skilled, multilingual labour force and export oriented<br />
economy provide strong growth potential to foreign exporters and investors.<br />
