The first ceremony under the new name of the holiday will be in the Great Plain

The article discusses the first celebration of the anniversary of the annexation of Prekmurje under the new name 'Veliki Polani' on August 17th, which marks the historical unification of Prekmurian Slovenes with their mother nation. The event, held at the Poljana Event Center, features speeches by Vice Prime Minister Jernej Vrtovec and excludes the President of the Republic, Nataša Pirc Musar, who has been absent due to prior commitments. The day includes cultural programs highlighting local heritage, including food, language, and traditions. The article also provides historical background on the 1919 annexation, explaining how Prekmurje became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes after World War I, and notes that the date was determined during the Paris Peace Conference rather than through an international treaty. It clarifies that the current border between Hungary and Slovenia was later legally defined by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920.
