Abstract	Already deployed optical fibers have been utilized to realize the first quantum network connecting three countries. The cities of Trieste (Italy), Rijeka (Croatia) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) have exchanged quantum keys with a rate up to 3.13 kps, realizing quantum key distribution in a real-world scenario.
