So, as the UK is set to leave the EU in exactly one year’s time, here is our Brexit jargon-buster.
Slovenia is a small but emerging European market that is one of a group of 9 in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) that have long term growth prospects. It will be getting European Union (EU) funding until 2022.
Its geographical position means it’s a gateway to south-eastern European markets – it has strong links historically with the nearby markets of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia.
Around 20 British businesses – including PricewaterhouseCoopers and Unilever – currently operate in Slovenia, and if you’re thinking of joining those businesses, you’ll want a simple and cost-effective way to keep in touch with colleagues or clients over there – and a teleconference offers exactly that.

Having been formed following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Slovakia is one of the world’s youngest countries (it celebrated its 23rd birthday on January 1st this year) but has come a long way in a short space of time and is now a eurozone country with a population of over 5 million people.
It remains a close partner of the Czech Republic, as well as Poland and Hungary, as members of the Visegrad Group, set up to promote cooperation and European integration.
And after initially having a frosty relationship with the European Union (EU) and NATO, things eventually thawed out as the country underwent economic reform and it joined both organisations in 2004.
