In Trieste a joint office will be established. Gregor Veslko, CEO of Luka Koper, will assume presidency for the first six months. With the aid of NAPA the ports of the northern Adriatic Sea want to become established as a logistics platform for importations from the Far East to Middle and Eastern Europe, and as an alternative to the ports in north-western Europe.
