One of the co-signatories is the company Postojnska jama d. d., which manages Postojna Cave, Europe’s largest Classical Karst show cave, which also boasts the greatest cave biodiversity. The management method is not prescribed, however, the nomination drafters have decided on a group of managers that concluded a management plan agreement. The inclusion application will be submitted in January and the decision about whether the Classical Karst will be included on the prestigious UNESCO list will be known in 2020.
