Minister for Slovenians Abroad Helena Jaklitsch wrapped up her 11-day tour of the US on Sunday in the Chicago suburb of Lemont, where the Slovenian community built the Slovenian Catholic Cultural Centre on land owned by Slovenian Franciscans.
Jaklitsch thanked the Slovenian community in the US for the exceptional role in the efforts for democratisation, independence and international recognition of Slovenia, and for their loyalty to the Slovenian language.
