President Borut Pahor attended a ceremony remembering Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who served as the president of France from 1974 to 1981.
On the first anniversary of his death, Giscard d’Estaing was remembered in the European Parliament for his role in the Convention on the Future of Europe, which concluded its work in 2003 by drafting the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. Upon his death, Pahor wrote a letter of condolences to French President Emanuel Macron, saying that France and Europe had lost a great European and statesman who persistently advocated closer European integration.
