After Marta Kos withdrew from her announced candidacy for the position of President of the Republic of Slovenia, we in the media speculated what might have motivated her for that decision. Until today, when we received a hint that Robert Golob, after an intervention by Milan Kučan, had promised her one of the most prestigious …
The event at the Russian Chapel under Vršič, where the commemorative ceremony is traditionally held on the last Sunday of July, was once again attended by a handful of former politicians, despite the fact that this year, the outpouring of affection for the Russian Federation has been much less on trend than in some of …
The last Sunday in July is fast approaching, and just like every year, it will be marked by the traditional ceremony at the Russian Chapel. This time, due to the events in Ukraine, the event will supposedly be heavily reduced, with only “friends and members” accepting the invitation to attend. Unsurprisingly, former President of the …
After a group of prominent intellectuals and politicians, which – unsurprisingly – also included Milan Kučan, called on the current Prime Minister to “form a reasonable position on the war in Ukraine,” thus indirectly calling for “disarmament of Ukraine,” this initiative has been destroyed by the letter of an even larger group of intellectuals with …

Independent Slovenia was also never a preferred option for him,” reads Darnika Vrabič’s comment on Kučan’s recent statement about the war Ukraine, and Prime Minister Janez Janša added that “the Slovenian public finally understands …
“The war should not be happening, and whatever led to it and gave Putin a reason to do what he is doing should not have happened either,” said Milan Kučan, a former leader of the League of Communists of Slovenia at Tuesday’s so-called peace rally, adding that he was really concerned about the fact that …

“Eppur si muove,” or “And yet it moves,” is a well-known saying by the Italian astronomer Galileo, which applies not only to the rotation of the Earth but also to the operating of the national media outlet RTV Slovenia, which has recently been moving from the predominantly left-wing position towards the right – to a …
Despite the very clear decision of the Slovenian nation at the plebiscite in December 1990, many politicians still had strange ideas about the implementation of this historic decision. As many times before and also after, the ideological leader of such “internationalist” ideas was Milan Kučan. During his speech at the formal sitting of the Assembly …
A couple of days ago, some mainstream media outlets published the news that the current president of the Management Board of the GEN-I company, Robert Golob, is preparing a public forum, which will show the first outlines of the new party.
