Preliminary trip to Sicily
Dragi zavezniki, dragi prijatelji, dragi sodelujoči in spremljajoči, povezani v projektu MED Land, ki je na sledi razkrivanja sveta, ki ga prepoznavam kot svojega, edinstvenega z eno samo skupno definicijo Mediteran … Nadaljujem v angleščini, ker so prisotni tudi le angleško govoreči.
