Slovenia Weekly: The Merry Day(s) of Culture and December ahead

November was like the finals of a very special year in Slovenia, the so-called super-election year.

After the parliamentary elections in April, in October, and especially in November, citizens of Slovenia ran a kind of marathon of elections - from the presidential and local elections to the referendum finish. We went to the polls four weekends in a row and practiced democracy. Although analysts predicted that "the people will get " the turnout, also on the last referendum Sunday showed a different picture.

December 3, a Merry Day of Culture, brings quite a different, more relaxed atmosphere. Free cultural and artistic events in cultural institutions around the country on December 3 will be a treat for everyone at the beginning of the last month of the year.
