The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, has arrived in Slovenia at the start of an eight-day tour of south-eastern Europe.

The Prince is due to go on to Romania, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where he'll visit local business centres, British aid projects, ecological schemes and historical sites.

Prince Charles begins his programme in Slovenia by visiting two of the country's beauty-spots: Lake Bled and the Mount Triglav National Park..
