"HAKS has entered the event of the 4th Rally Show Santa Domenica, which will take place from 23 November to 11 November 24, in their National Calendar for 11," AŠ2013 wrote in the announcement.

AŠ also seems to be banning the performance of "other Slovenian participants" who do not otherwise carry its license!
