By: J.S., STA

Jože Pučnik, a leading dissident under the Communist regime in Slovenia who played a key role in the country’s independence, was honoured with a bust at Brdo estate on the 90th anniversary of his birth.

The bust carries the famous quote with which Pučnik welcomed the outcome of the 1990 independence referendum: “Yugoslavia is no more, now it is about Slovenia”, the words that Prime Minister Janez Janša said should be kept repeated today.
