This November, the European Food Summit shall evoke the idea of the future of food<\/strong>. The European Food Summit, which ranked among the most important European culinary events in just one year should have occurred last March but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to last fall and then to this year. <\/h2>

As the organizers of the event, Jezer\u0161ek gostinstvo, announced some time ago, this year’s European Food Summit will take place in November, more precisely\u00a0between 6th<\/sup>\u00a0and 8th<\/sup>\u00a0November 2021,\u00a0<\/strong>during the traditional culinary festival\u00a0November Gourmet Ljubljana<\/strong>, when a series of culinary events are in progress in the capital, in the company of top chefs and winemakers.<\/h2>

Martin Jezer\u0161ek<\/strong>, the director of company Jezer\u0161ek gostinstvo and the representative of the organizer of the event explains:\u00bbWe have remained optimistic to the last moment, but then suddenly, due to the measure to ban the execution of events in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection, we decided, together with the event partners Slovenian Tourist Board and Tourism Ljubljana, to postpone the European Food Symposium to this year. As the organizer, we truly wish to realize the entire program this time. If any new restrictions are adopted to prevent the spread of infections, we will be compelled to adjust the program and the structure of the event accordingly.\u00ab<\/em><\/p>

During last year, when there were only a few months separating us from the beginning of our European Food Summit, we were still wondering whether the situation would turn normal again, whether the restaurants would accept guests and airplanes take off and land regularly, but today, we can undoubtedly say that we were then just blindly hoping the coronavirus pandemic was behind us. After more than a year, we are still licking our wounds and trying to find a way to recuperate and to help others, especially small restaurants and tradesmen who were severely hurt by the pandemic.<\/p>
