first announcement
OPATIJA
GENERAL INFORMATIONS
Opatija is variously known as the “Old Dame” or the
“Pearl of the Adriatic”. Opatija is remarkable seaside
resort town with a long history of tourism stretching
back to 1844. When in Opatija, the feel of the 19th
century is everywhere and among grand hotels with
elegant facades you can easily visualise past visitors
from Austria’s Habsburg dynasty, such as the Emperor Franz Joseph, or perhaps famous artists like Isadora Duncan or a long list of world dignitaries who have
over the years chosen this gem of Croatia’s Adriatic
coast as their holiday destinantion.
Opatija is located in the Kvarner Bay, at the foot of the
Mount Ucka and some 15 km from Rijeka, Croatia’s
third largest city.
Opatija has remained in complete harmony with nature. Well-maintained public gardens and 12 km long
coastal promenade known as “Lungomare”. Well-kept
beaches and fountains provide a stunning backdrop
for the villas and hotels. The climate in Opatija is relaxing and refreshing. The contrasts of sea and mountains, green parks and blue ocean, old buildings and
modern comforts, noisy entertainment venues and
quiet destinations for excursions all combine to make
Opatija and its surroundings a very attractive tourist
resort at any time of the year.

Dear colleagues, dear friends!
On behalf of organizing committee we are pleased to announce that Adriatic Neurology Forum “ANF 2015” will
be held in Opatija, Croatia, from 16th to 20th September
2015.
Last ANF, held in Montenegro, confirmed its initial idea
and purpose - to unite neurologists from whole region in
exchanging experience and knowledge regarding certain
neurological disorders. We are proud that we are continuing with this idea and even more proud to offer you a
congress with lectures held by the most eminent experts
from the field of epilepsy, movement disorders, dementia
and multiple sclerosis who will provide you with the newest data on diagnostic and treatment challenges. Experts
from the Europe and USA together with experts from our
region, will all join in one goal – making “Adriatic Neurology Forum 2015” congress worth remembering.
As previous years, we continue with the “Young Neurologists Forum” which gives opportunity to our young colleagues (young specialists and residents) to present their
work. All young colleagues are invited to submit their abstract for oral or poster presentation and the best presentation will be awarded for the effort as an incentive for
further work.
As every year, we did not forget the social component,
which is very important from the very beginning of the
ANF. Besides interesting lectures we also guarantee you
good social program and a time schedule which will allow
you to enjoy all charms of Opatija.
Until our meeting in Opatija,
Kindest regards,
President of the Organizing Committee
Silvio Basic
