The Eurocities organization, of which Ljubljana is also a member, is commemorating the coronavirus epidemic victims with a minute of silence on Wednesday, 24 March 2021, at 12:00.

Eurocities President and Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella pointed out that Europe needs a joint moment of reflection. "Let us pause for a minute to mourn the dead, to honour those suffering from the consequences of the pandemic, and to reflect on our own situation – to take a breath in the hectic everyday struggle we all experience."

The Eurocities network brings together European cities. Founded in 1986 by the mayors of six cities Barcelona, ​​Birmingham, Frankfurt, Lyon, Milan and Rotterdam, it now includes 198 European cities from 38 countries with 130 million inhabitants.
