Peter Kaiser, President 2013-2014 (Governor of Carinthia)

By signing the Joint Declaration in November 1978 in Venice, representatives of provinces, regions and republics confirmed the establishment of the Alps-Adriatic Working Community. Today the Community comprises Burgenland, Carinthia, Croatia, Slovenia, Styria and Vas. Slovenia and Croatia, which have not yet established regions, participate at state level, while other members are individual regions and provinces.

The aim of the Alps-Adriatic Alliance is to address areas of common interest and co-ordinate co-operation at expert level. The alliance deals in particular with the following areas: agriculture, forestry, economy, tourism, environmental protection, cultural relations, and regional planning and co-operation in the fields of sport, health care and youth. The Republic of Slovenia participates in all working bodies of the Working Community, presiding over two working groups - regional planning and youth - and co-presiding over the working group on sports.

Members of the Alps-Adriatic Alliance also co-operate in the Alps-Adriatic Public Libraries and Alps Adriatic Cultural Network projects involving vocational training institutions, universities, museums, theatres and cultural institutions of a wide-ranging nature.
