In a special episode of the '35 Years of Slovenia' series, two key figures in Slovenia's independence movement—defence expert Jelko Kacin and former Foreign Minister Dr. Dimitrij Rupel—discuss their experiences during Slovenia's struggle for sovereignty. The discussion covers critical events such as the formation of the League of Social Democrats of Slovenia (SDZ) in 1989, the challenges faced by Slovenia in gaining international recognition, and the eventual dissolution of the DEMOS coalition after achieving independence.
Bias read (Center): The article provides a historical overview of Slovenia's independence process without taking a clear ideological stance. It features interviews with key political figures but presents their accounts neutrally, focusing on recounting events rather than endorsing any particular viewpoint.
