War of Independence
Slovenia celebrates its day of independence on Monday. I will not bore you with details, neither with a guide to the ten day conflict which immediately followed the declaration of independece. What I had hoped to show you (but failed miserably) was a feature-length move about those fateful ten days. Instead, all I found is the video below, which uses clips of that same movie. I’d like to draw your attention (especially people who’ve never even remotely witnessed an armed conflict) to the fact that the video shows many of the places you’ve probably visited if you’ve ever been to Slovenia.
If you take a stroll up the Castle hill today, it’s kind of hard to imagine that cars are double-parked in the very spot where an anti-aircraft battery was stationed sixteen years ago.
Please, ignore the music. It’s got nothing to do with actual events
We were soooo lucky…
