Literary historian Janko Kos has left the Slovenian Writers’ Association (DSP) over its decision to opt out of the celebration of Slovenia’s 30th independence anniversary because of certain actions by Prime Minister Janez Janša.

DSP head Dušan Merc said the only comment to the move could be that “we must accept the fact that academic professor Janko Kos, a teacher and role model of many generations of Slovenian comparativists, an extraordinary intellectual and witness to our recent history and presence has left the Writers’ Association,” web portal MMC reported.
