I became a true Slovenian!!
Even as a boy, I listened to my grandparents talking to their friends about their homeland, remembering the events and customs that connected them to Slovenia. In those stories, my grandfather Ivan often used to say, "Unless you climb Triglav you are not a true Slovenian!".

Zenica, September 2, 2023
On Saturday, September 2, we attended the 5th gathering of Slovenians in Zenica, organized by the Association of Citizens of Slovenian Origin "Encijan" Zenica.

This year, the students of Slovenian language classes in Banja Luka and Slatina had the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the Slovenian language and to get to know their peers from other countries as well as Slovenia itself. In this way, students better understand that language is not only about grammar, but they must experience it in the environment in which they learn it.

On the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia declared 2023 as the year of the poet Karl Destovnik - Kajuh. The National and University Library will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Karel Destovnik - Kajuh with the exhibition Time of Life and Time of Death: Karel Destovnik Kajuh.

Već odavno smo imali želju da upoznamo Zelengoru, planinsku ljepoticu, nadaleko čuveno po bajkovitoj prirodi, sa prostranim zelenim livadama koju krasi 8 jezera, sa bogatom florom i faunom. I tu želju su nam ispunili naši drugari planinari iz PD “Poštar” iz Banjaluke, kojima smo se sa radošću pridružili.
