In 2021, Slovenia presided over the Council of the EU for the second time. On this occasion, the set of protocol gifts reflected an attitude towards sustainability, which was considered not only in the selection but also in the number of gifts and was linked to the selection of Slovenia for the European Gastronomy Region 2021. The list of promotional and protocol gifts also included a smart bottle from the Slovenian company EQUA. The bottle, in connection with the mobile application, calculates the daily need for water and warns with a light signal about the regular consumption of liquid. At the same time, it also reflects sustainability, as it replaces single-use bottles. According to the company’s data, 20 uniquely personalized bottles were produced for the purpose of the protocol gift, which were received as a gift by high-ranking political representatives.
