Look behind the scenes of the protocol Centre Brdo, in which events at the highest level are taking place, which are normally hidden from public view. We have spent 24 hours with the key people who are taking care that the statesmen of the highest rank are excited over the small-est details. What skills, hard and precise work is needed for a top event, is disclosed in an exclu-sive reportage of Kongres magazine.

THE ART OF MEETINGS Fresh ideas for cultural enrichment of your event. Presentations of interesting musicians, dancers and animators.
