Dear participants and badminton friends!

We would like to bid a warm welcome to all the participants, significant guests and spectators of the 12th Slovenia International Championships in badminton. NAFTA SLOVENIA INTERNATIONAL 2008 is the largest tournament organised by the Badminton Association of Slovenia and represents the height of the badminton season in Slovenia. For the greater young players from Slovenia, NAFTA SLOVENIA INTERNATIONAL 2008 will be an excellent test of strength prior to the competitors from 26 different countries from three different continents. We would like to take this opportunity to specially thank the General Sponsor NAFTA Group, Lendava and all others who have made this tournament possible. On behalf of the Badminton Association of Slovenia, we wish all the participants the best of luck, great moments of enjoyment, and good results. We are convinced that you will return to your homes with long lasting memories, and that in the near future we will meet once again in Slovenia.

Dane Alič
President
