Publication "Evro pred vrati !" was released

12 December 2006
The Government of the Republic of Slovenia and the Bank of Slovenia prepared a common informative brochure entitled "Evro pred vrati" ("The Euro on Your Doorstep"), that will in the following days be delivered to Slovenian citizens by post. The purpose of this last common publication is to present crucial information regarding the immanent introduction of euro.

In the brochure citizens will be able to find key dates connected to the introduction of the new currency; instructions where, when and how to exchange the currencies; issues regarding the cash and credit card payments during the introduction; which are the institutions responsible for smooth functioning of ATMs; how the commercial banks will operate during the holidays that coincide with the dates of the changeover and what happens to legal contracts denominated in Slovenian tolars after the introduction of euro. At the end an extensive list of all information sources is given. The latter should be consulted when in need of further information regarding the introduction of euro.

The brochure is published in Slovenian, the two official minority languages (Hungarian and Italian) and will also be adapted to the needs of the blind and weak-sighted. As regards the latter, it will be published in a cooperation with the Association of Blind and Partially Sighted of Slovenia in bigger font size, in Braille alphabet as well as in audio. In collaboration with the Roma association of Slovenia the translation in Romany language is also assured.
