Slovene Pavillion at Expo 2010 Shanghai featuring Herman Potočnik Noordung, Starck with Riko, Primož Trubar and World Book Capital Ljubljana 2010, with contributions by Oskar Kogoj, Matej Andraž Vogrinčič, and Slavoj Žižek
Throughout the year of the book capital the Ljubljana Urban Municipality will work on the Ljubljana Resolution on the Book, proposing to UNESCO the improved measures for the public funding of books.
Through the Book and the City events the citizens of Ljubljana will be encouraged to change their habits and read more (reading corners, public readings ...). Some of the capital's most ambitious publishing projects are dedicated to the works of Boris Pahor, Svetlana Makarovič and Slavoj Žižek, one of the best and most notorious yet perhaps not widely read or understood Slovene authors.
Pogledi ("Views") Newspaper
The World Book Capital in Ljubljana will be accompanied with a bimonthly cultural newspaper published by Delo Publishing House.
Trubar House of Literature
Within the capital framework a new venue is due to open in Spring 2010 in the very centre of the city. It will serve as a cultural and intellectual centre with a book club, exhibiting space and information point.
