In his address, the Prime Minister pointed out that the general public has shown very little interest in issues of the young and related matters. "This might be worrisome to a certain degree," said the Prime Minister, indicating three problems "which seem to be crucial – schooling, housing and the first job problem". These particular problems are becoming more obvious with the crisis and "the young in this regard are certainly a vulnerable generation," added Prime Minister Pahor. Concluding, he called upon the participants to examine the situation in all three areas in question and to prepare adequate proposals to resolve open issues. This would provide the Government with a solid orientation for its future work.
