25th<\/sup> St. Martin’s Day in Banja Luka<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent this year\u2019s 25th<\/sup> annual St. Martin\u2019s Day in a somewhat different, yet still uplifting atmosphere. On the third Saturday in November, we gathered with many old and new friends to celebrate the day of wine at the Aquana restaurant in Banja Luka. President of the association Mladen Luni\u010d opened the event by addressing the attendees, which was followed by a the Davorin Jenko Mixed Choir and then the children\u2019s folklore group, with the latter receiving a massive applause. The traditional baptism of wine was performed humorously by the association\u2019s old friend Peter Kiri\u010d from Ormo\u017e and winegrower Miran Trop together with his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new book by Dr. Marjan \u0160trum presented<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first Monday in November, he Slovenian Association for International Relations, the Institute for Ethnic Studies and the Slovenian Emigrant Association held an event on the premises of the Slovenian Emigrant Association at Linhartova 13. Those attending could listen to the presentation of a new book by Dr. Marjan \u0160trum entitled Identity without an enemy: From confrontation to peacekeeping<\/em> (Identiteta brez sovra\u017enika: od konfrontacije do mirovnega posredovanja <\/em>in Slovene) and a debate dubbed Austria after the election \u2013 The power of freemen<\/em>. As stated in the introductory address by Daniel Grafenauer from the Institute of Ethnic Studies, the author tackled a difficult area of relations between the Slovenian minority and the German-speaking majority in the 1970s. Dr. Boris Jesih voiced his belief that \u0160turm\u2019s dialogue culminated in a favorable atmosphere in Koro\u0161ka, while his success within the minority was not as pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CULTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only place I feel at home is in Slovenia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ksenija Majcen spent half of her life living abroad, namely in four countries spanning across two continents. She lived in Yugoslavia and Slovenia, the German Democratic Republic, the USA and Austria. She recounts the part of her life that she spent in East Berlin in her autobiographical story entitled An escape without limits <\/em>(Pobeg brez meja <\/em>in Slovenian), which was published this year by the Slovenian Emigrant Association. But there is a continuation to her story. In this edition of Rodna gruda<\/em>, she talks about the events that followed her escape from Berlin \u2013 from school and work in the USA and her return home to the publication of An escape without limits<\/em>.

SLOVENIAN WONDERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mystical landscape of the Cerknica Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbI can say without an ounce of modesty that the Cerknica lake is a wonder of nature \u2013 without any bias, the lake can be classified as one of the greatest wonders of nature nature,\u201d Johann Weikhard von Valvasor wrote in the year 1686 to put on paper the greatness of the Cerknica lake \u2013 the largest intermittent lake in Europe \u2013 alongside the wonders of the world. To learn why it is so worth visiting, we asked around at the Notranjska Regional Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
