The meeting will take place in Zagreb, the capital and largest city of Croatia. In Zagreb, you will find the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences and important administrative and military authorities. As the center of finances and commerce, Zagreb has regional and national weight. As the residence of the catholic archbishop, Zagreb has splendid churches. It also has impressive nobility palaces, as well as a multiplicity of museums and other exhibition places. Indeed, Zagreb is a city of culture with vivid nightlife. Despite having almost a thousand years of history, Zagreb is a young and lively city. The old town of Zagreb is a feast for senses with beautiful restaurants and cafés surrounded by typical facades and houses, opulent gardens and impressive neo-gothic buildings. So come and try Croatian hospitality.

Our meeting will take place in the Hotel Dubrovnik, a four-star hotel and a distinctive part of Zagreb's architectural heritage. The vintage wing, built in 1929 was extended in 1982 with a tastefully designed modern wing. Today the Hotel Dubrovnik has 214 rooms and offers a balance of tradition, excellent service and modern facilities in the heart of the City.
