  • Slovenian Minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1
    Slovenian minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1 Abstract: This paper will analyse the issue of the Slovenian minority in Austria and focus on its history, development and contemporary concerns as well as attitudes on both sides of this disputed subject. It also stresses the importance of tolerance, democracy and the respect of people’s values, which should be part of the contemporary world and especially of the European Union. If the language and culture of a minority are not adequately respected, the European Union should be concerned and act accordingly. However, in the case of the Slovenian minority this does not occur. Keywords: Slovenia, minority, language policy, and bilingual signposts The autochthonous Slovenian ethnic minority, which is a remnant of former Slavic groups that populated the entire south and east of today’s Austria, now lives in the south Austrian provinces of Carinthia and Styria. Although this minority has had its rights guaranteed by two international treaties – the Saint Germain Peace Treaty of 1919 and the Austrian State Treaty of 1955 – and European conventions, Austria has failed to fully implement them. The Slovenian minority in Styria is not even officially recognised, while ethnic Slovenians in Carinthia have had to fight for every benefit that should have been taken for granted. This status is also indisputably linked to the fact that the former head of the Freedom Party, who has been criticised for his xenophobic and racist statements, is currently the governor of Carinthia. Jorg Haider used the so-called bilingual signpost dispute (“Ortstafelsturm”) in the pre-elections campaign in the summer of 2006 and his actions have dramatically worsened the tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

  • National Museums in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia: a Story of Making ’Us’ Vanja Lozic
    Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia: A Story of Making ’Us’ Vanja Lozic Summary This study explores the history of the five most significant national and regional museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. The aim is to show how these museums contribute to the construction of national and other identities through collections, selections and classifications of objects of interest and through historical narratives. The three museums from Bosnia and Herzegovina that are included in this study are The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo; which was founded in 1888 and is the oldest institution of this kind in the country; the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina founded in 1945 (Sarajevo) and the Museum of the Republic of Srpska in Banja Luka (the second largest city in BiH), which was founded in 1930 under the name the Museum of Vrbas Banovina. As far as Slovenia is concerned, two analysed museums, namely the National Museum of Slovenia (est. 1821) and the Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia (est. 1944/1948), are situated in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The most significant periods for the creation of museums as a part of the consolidation of political power and construction of regional and/or national identities can be labelled: The period under the Austrian empire (-1918) and the establishment of first regional museums.

  • 2020 Slovenia Country Report | SGI Sustainable Governance Indicators
    Slovenia Report Miro Hacek, Susanne Pickel, Frank Bönker (Coordinator) Sustainable Governance Indicators 2020 © vege - stock.adobe.com Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2020 | 2 Slovenia Report Executive Summary From September 2018 to January 2020, Slovenia was governed by a minority government led by Prime Minister Marjan Šarec. Based on a coalition of five center-left political parties (List of Marjan Sarec, LMŠ; Modern Center Party, SMC; Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia, DeSUS; Social Democrats, SD; Party of Alenka Bratušek, SAB), the government depended on support from the leftist Levica party. Primarily held together by the desire to prevent a return to power on the part of Janez Janša, whose center-right Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) had won twice as many votes as its nearest rival in the June 2019 parliamentary elections, internal political struggles within the center-left coalition left the minority government unable to carry out reforms. Largely due to the Slovenian economy’s high export propensity and strong dependency on development in larger European economies, real GDP fell from more than 4% in 2017 and 2018 to 2.5% in 2019. Despite the unexpected economic slowdown, unemployment continued to decline which allowed the Šarec government to achieve a small fiscal surplus. Supported by the surplus, active public debt management, low interest rates and substantial privatization proceeds, public debt fell from 70.4% of GDP in 2018 to 66.7% in 2019. Projections suggest it will decline further in 2021 and fall below 60%. Compared to its predecessor, the Šarec government was more successful with the privatization of state banks, which has been on the agenda for some time.

  • Slovenia: Midterm 2017 Progress Report on the Implementation of the Third Phase of the World Programme for Human Rights Education
    SLOVENIA: MIDTERM 2017 PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE THIRD PHASE OF THE WORLD PROGRAMME FOR HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION A. Strenghtening human rights education in the primary and seconday school systems and in higher education, as well as human rights training for civil servants, law enforcement officials and the military. Ministry of Education, Science and Sports of the Republic of Slovenia Primary and secondary school education The primary goal of the education system in Slovenia is to provide for the optimal development of the individual, irrespective of gender, social and cultural background, religion, racial, ethnic or national origin, and regardless of their physical and mental constitution or physical and mental disability. The fundamental values of education in the Republic of Slovenia are derived from the common European heritage of political, cultural and moral values reflecting human rights and the ensuing responsibilities, as well as the principles of pluralist democracy, tolerance, solidarity and the legal state, equity, autonomy and quality. These principles are reflected in legislation and other steering documents. The 2011 White Paper defined four general principles of education in Slovenia, and these are still applicable: - Human rights and responsibilities – referring to the common European heritage of political, cultural and moral values that are reflected in human rights and the ensuing responsibilities, as well as the principles of plural democracy, tolerance, solidarity and the rule of law. - Autonomy – including the professional autonomy of education professionals and educational institutions, which is related to the key goal of education: to form an independent, thoughtful and responsible individual who relies on acquired knowledge and social and other skills.
