Construction of Koroška section of expressway begins

Slovenj Gradec – Construction work began near Slovenj Gradec on a vital expressway to link the Koroška region in the north with the national motorway network.

Dialects make Slovenian the most diverse Slavic language

Officially, there are 37 dialects in Slovenia, but the way that people speak often differs from one village to another. This diversity is well captured in the proverb "Vsaka vas ima svoj glas", meaning "Every village has its own voice".

Sometimes dialects can be so different from one another that it is hard for people from different parts of Slovenia to understand each other.
