Tone Kajzer, ministr za zunanje zadeve, je včeraj na taboru Slovencev po svetu izrekel zelo pomembno poročilo, ki je poudarilo pomen povezovanja Slovencev po svetu. Na srečanju, kjer so sodelovali tudi argentinski in slovenski maturanti, je Kajzer nagovoril rojake v izseljenstvu, ki vsak dan dokazujejo, da domovina ni omejena z mejami države. Po njegovih besedah živi domovina v srcu, v jeziku in v neomajni pripadnosti, ki presega razdalje. Slovenija ni le kraj na zemljevidu, temveč je vez, ki povezuje Slovence, kdorkoli so. To poročilo je bilo zelo pomembno, ker je poudarilo, da je domovina bolj kot ideja, kot pa geografska lokacija, in da je povezovanje Slovencev po svetu ključno za ohranjanje narodne identitete.
Na drugi strani so se dogodki znotraj 35-letnice Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa razvili v zelo pomembno slavnostno akademijo na Fužinskem gradu v Ljubljani. Dogodek je potekal v soboto, 27. junija, in je bil namenjen kot poklon organizaciji, ki že 35 let povezuje Slovence doma, v zamejstvu in po svetu. Program je vključeval slovesni kulturni program, nagovore in predstavitev jubilejne monografije. Glavna tema je bila pomen narodne povezanosti, ohranjanje slovenske identitete in sodelovanje med rojaki po vsem svetu. Program je povezovala Mateja Feltrin, ki je z odlomki iz monografije Svetovni slovenski kongres 1991–2026 – In dokler bo živel slovenski rod spletla rdečo nit večera. Besede Lojzeta Peterleta so bile posebej odmevale, ker so poudarile, da je Svetovni slovenski kongres trajna oblika povezovanja Slovencev, ne glede na politične ali druge razlike.
Slavnostni govornik, prof. dr. Jadran Lenarčič, je v nagovoru poudaril pomembnost sodelovanja, znanja in odgovornosti pri ohranjanju slovenske identitete ter krepitvi vezi med Slovenci doma, v zamejstvu in po svetu. Njegovo sporočilo je poudarilo, da moč slovenskega naroda temelji na povezanosti, medsebojnem spoštovanju in skupni skrbi za prihodnost. Predsednik Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa, dr. Boris Pleskovič, je podčrtal pomembno vlogo organizacije pri slovenski osamosvajavi ter njen nadaljnji razvoj v povezovanju Slovencev doma, v zamejstvu in po svetu. Izpostavil je, da kongres s številnimi strokovnimi srečanji in mednarodnimi povezavami krepi sodelovanje ter spodbuja prenos znanja in izkušenj slovenskih rojakov v domovino.
V imenu predsednice države je zbrane nagovoril dr. Aleš Musar, ki je poudaril, da slovenski narod presega državne meje, in da so Slovenci skozi zgodovino pomembno prispevali k svetovni znanosti, kulturi in gospodarstvu. Izpostavil je simboliko Knežjega kamna ter sklenil, da lahko Slovenec doseže svetovne uspehe, ne da bi izgubil svojo narodno identiteto. Dr. Stanislav Raščan se je spomnil začetkov Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa in vloge slovenskega izseljenstva pri mednarodnem priznanju Slovenije leta 1991. Po njegovih besedah je bila enotnost Slovencev po svetu eden ključnih dejavnikov uspeha v času osamosvajanja.
Dr. Helena Jaklič je poudarila, da sta slovenska država in Svetovni slovenski kongres že od ustanovitve tesno povezana pri povezovanju Slovencev po svetu. Posebej je izpostavila pomen vključevanja znanja, izkušenj in mladih generacij Slovencev iz zamejstva in izseljenstva v razvoj domovine. Ernest Herzog je opozoril na podobnosti med Svetovnim slovenskim in Svetovnim judovskim kongresom, katerih skupno poslanstvo je ohranjanje identitete in povezovanje skupnosti. Izrazil je podporo tesnejšemu sodelovanju med organizacijama ter poudaril, da narod živi tudi zunaj meja svoje države.
Ob 35-letnici Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa je akademska slikarka Marjetka Dolinar predstavila jubilejno likovno delo, v katerem skozi simboliko Knežjega kamna, petih zelenih listov ter drugih zgodovinskih in duhovnih motivov ponazarja slovensko državnost, kulturno dediščino in povezanost Slovencev po svetu z domovino. Slika simbolizira poslanstvo Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa kot mostu med rojaki po vsem svetu. V sklepnem delu večera je sledila predstavitev jubilejne znanstvene monografije o 35-letnem delovanju Svetovnega slovenskega kongresa, v kateri so sodelovali urednik dr. Dejan Valentinčič ter avtorji dr. David Hazemali in dr. Damjan Kukovec. Razprava je osvetlila zgodovinski pomen kongresa, njegovo vlogo pri osamosvajanju Slovenije in njegov razvoj v eno najpomembnejših povezovalnih organizacij slovenskega naroda. Govorniki so poudarili, da monografija ni le pregled prehojene poti, ampak tudi izhodišče.

It highlights how European nations, particularly France, Germany, Spain, England, and the Netherlands, dominate the current World Cup due to their strong youth development systems and high number of players born in these countries.
