The organization has in recent years expanded the scope of its activities so as to participate in the international arena; it has, among other things, signed the agreement on professional cooperation with Serbian nurses, which is the first agreement of its kind in Slovenia. We have established genuine professional and social bonds by participating at professional meetings in Serbia for several years, among these were the first official visit and cooperation in Belgrade in 2003, organising »the Slovenia Nursing Care Day« in 2004 in Zlatibor, visiting the Clinical Centre in Sarajevo the same year, participating at the professional meeting of the Nurses and Health Technicians Society of Belgrade in 2005, there was also another active participation in Zlatibor in 2006. Here we should also mention the active participation of our members at numerous international meetings and events organised by ICN, as well as by other international organization and professional associations of nurses and midwives, where both our leadership and members successfully represented our profession and our organization.
