Today is a very special day both for Slovenia and Austria. The two neighboring countries celebrate their friendship and oneness with two bridges dedicated to Peace!
Our Austrian team gathered at the bridge which connects Bad Radkersburg (Austria) and Gornja Radgona (Slovenia).
Danes je prav poseben dan, tako za Slovenijo, kot tudi za Avstrijo. Sosednji državi praznujeta medsebojno prijateljstvo in enost s kar dvema miru posvečenima mostovoma! Avtrijska ekipa se je zbrala pri mostu, ki povezuje Bad Radkersburg (Avstrija) in Gornjo Radgono (Slovenija).

Most med Gornjo Radgono in Bad Radkersburgom se je tako tudi uradno pridružil projektu “Cvetovi miru Šri Činmoja”. Zdaj, ko je posvečen miru, nas ta most opominja na našo dožnost in odgovornost, da kot velika svetovna družina ustvarjamo mir in harmonijo tudi v našem življenju...
