Chronology of activities of Koroška Region Council

Koroška Region Council started operating in 1997, after the mayors of municipalities of: Črna na Koroškem, Dravograd, Mežica, Mislinja, Muta, Slovenj Gradec, Podvelka, Prevalje, Radlje ob Dravi, Ravne na Koroškem, Ribnica na Pohorju and Vuzenica, who had a wish that municipalities in Drava, Meža and Mislinja valley would deepen and broaden their mutual cooperation and in that way enable easier solving of mutual development problems, signed a letter of intention, in which they determined “Koreoška Region” as responsible and natural whole for interest gathering and realization of common goals.

In these years collective operations have confirmed that “Koroška” justifies individual identity in regional development and that as a “region” will be capable to overtake the responsibility for individual execution of tasks of regional meaning.

Since the establishing the Koroška Region Council has been managed by: Franc Stakne (Municipality Črna), Rado Krpač (Municipality Dravograd), Janez Praper (Municipality Mežica), Mirko Grešovnik (Municipality Mislinja), Ivan Draušbaher (Municipality Muta), Anton Kovše (Municipality Podvelka), dr. Matic Tasič (Municipality Prevalje), Alan Bukovnik (Municipality Radlje ob Dravi), Maksimiljan Večko (Municipality Ravne na Koroškem), Marija Sgerm (Municipality Ribnica na Pohorju) in Matjaž Zanoškar (Municipality Slovenj Gradec).
