It's the euro DD before MM style of date writing.

Oh, if the author just wrote DD.MM it's fine. I just don't understand why he wrote "June/July" afterwards.

It's Day/Month Day/Month

Sure, but I think it's more that it seems incredibly rare to write month/day without year in strictly numbers. In almost all cases i would write 15 Jun/15 Jul. I can't think of anytime i would intentionally write 15.06/15.07. We all know this is a global world. We all know conventions vary. We should aim to make things intuitive, not make people guess which convention 06.07 is using.
"rare" is subjective - I'd have written it the same way (DD.MM) if I were going to write those dates without thinking. The author is from Poland, and so am I. Old habits die hard.
Day.month is the standard throughout most of Europe.
