SloveniaOn June 26, the anniversary of Slovenia's independence declaration 35 years ago, a cultural evening dedicated to national heritage was held at Strahov Castle in Škofja Loka.

The evening featured performances by the Starološki Oktet, a young ensemble singing patriotic Slovenian songs, followed by speeches and musical acts highlighting Slovenian and Argentine cultural ties. A notable speaker, Marija De Stupica, shared her personal journey through three 'Slovenias'—her birthplace in Trieste, her parents' backgrounds, and her current home in Škofja Loka.
