A commemorative ceremony was held in Dokležovje on Saturday, May 30, honoring Ivan Jerič (1891–1975), a priest, editor of the Prekmurje newspaper, member of parliament, general vicar for Prekmurje, and a fighter for the region's autonomy. The event took place in his hometown of Beltinci, which is part of the Prekmurje area. Attendees included local clergy and officials who paid tribute to Jerič's loyalty to his people, the Church, and his homeland during the most difficult decades of the 20th century. A wreath was laid at a statue of Jerič located in front of the parish church of Saint Stephen
