\nCelje, Slovenia<\/h3>\n

On Friday, 17 June 2016, Tja\u0161a Ter\u017ean, a member of the Association EPEKA, Soc. Ent., participated in a public discussion “Water, how long will it be accessible to everyone?” organised by the Museum of Contemporary History in Celje and the Planet Earth Society. The main guests of the discussion were Dr. Igor \u0160oltes, Member of the European Parliament, and Mr. Brane Golubovi\u0107, representative of the Civic Initiative For Slovenia and Freedom.<\/p>\n

The discussion focused on the importance of water as a public good, the citizens’ initiative to enshrine the right to water in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia and the protection of the right to water as a fundamental human right in the European legal order.<\/p>\n

Slovenia is one of the first, if not the first, Member State of the European Union to realise how important these issues are for our future, and that such an essential commodity as water cannot and should not be taken for granted, because if citizens are indifferent to it, inappropriate mechanisms can quickly exploit it for their own profit and alienate us from our basic rights.<\/p>\n

It is right and necessary to protect water in our highest legal instruments.<\/p>\n
