The new Road Safety avv seeks to improve traffic Sa£ety> stop worst traffic rule 0 fenders and bring Slove-Llan driving culture to a h,8her level.

An important feature of the new law is the reduction of speed limits. The maximum speed in residential areas is 50 kph (kilomets per hour), 130 kph on motorways (previously 120 kph), 100 kph on regional roads and 90 kph on other roads. The new law also requires all vehicles to have their headlights on during daytime. When vehicles are driven in reverse, their hazard lights must now be turned on. While driving, the driver and all passengers must be secured by seat belts, if belts are fitted. (This includes passengers in the back seat). Failure to do so, will include a fine of 10,000 SIT per passenger. There are also some changes in the new law affecting foreigners. Foreigners living in Slovenia can drive a vehicle with a valid foreign drivers license for a maximum of one year from the start of their stay in Slovenia. Thereafter, the foreign driving license must be replaced with a Slovenian document. Slovenian citizens permanently or temporarily living abroad can drive using a valid foreign license at the time of their temporary stay in Slovenia. If foreigners or Slovenian citizens living abroad lose their foreign driving license, they are also prohibited from driving a vehicle in Slovenia. The new law has not gone unnoticed by the public. Immediately on May 1, the Slovene drivers have considerably altered their driving behavior. And the government has taken great strides to inform the public about the new law, the reduced speed limits and the increased fines. The Ministry of Interior has even published an information booklet entitled: “There are too Few of Us to Die on the Road.” Now, if only the government could do something about the parking situation in Ljubljana. Fines for Exceeding Speed Limits, in Residential Areas: up to 10 kph = 5,000 SIT 11 to 20 kph = 15,000 SIT 21 to 30 kph = 30,000 SIT more than 40 kph = 45,000 SIT (plus 3 to 5 points) Driving on left side of road = 15,000 SIT Failure to indicate a change in driving direction = 10.000 SIT Inadequate Safety Distance = 15,000 SIT Headlights off during the day = 10,000 SIT No seat belts on = 10,000 SIT Cutting in while overtaking another vehicle = 45.000 SIT (plus 3 to 5 points) NOTE: 1 US$ = 165 SIT b ^emake Old Slovenian Recordings P I coSr,imes-the »chi, re- has industry ____ ^ reprnHVengs . d|8,tal tape re-J^kahi M have improved N. bly °ver the last few W- ^“IdnW. above in mind, Present time be * i. *m -lease the won-4-V of Dr. Na„ Uus»e>s fine 1 Mar,"',"if1: with vo" |#"eChde°;'eC|fa"dJO- / ^eat"n 1 the d, '%]t0 re-relea According to a reliable source, the Lausche master records are safely tucked away in an underground vault and are in pristine condition. They are just waiting to be transferred to tapes and CDs and with modern electronic engineering, a stereo can be an added feature. The expense of putting the Lausche music on digital tapes and compact discs is approximately $6,000 and the recordings can be sold for $8 to $10. The recording company also will charge $6,000 for removing the masters from the underground vault. Any profit derived from the sale of these recordings could be donated to St. Vitus towards the repair of the Holtkamp organ. Mama Frances Lausche and her daughter Josephine Welf were members of Lira Choir at St. Vitus - both sang to the accompaniment of this Holtkamp organ. Perhaps someone reading this column will underwrite part or all of the expense. These original recordings are the finest Slovenian music ever recorded in the U.S.A. to the present time. --Frank Zupančič Cleveland.

A large number of people came to the Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in Euclid, Ohio on Saturday evening, May 23 to pay homage to Our Lady of Brezje, Patroness of Slovenia. The entire program was under the sponsorship of the Ohio Federation of KSKJ lodges, Joseph V . Hočevar, president, Eugene Kogovšek, national president. A Mass was held at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel. Concele-brants were Reverend Joseph P. Boznar, Rev. John Kumse, Rev. Victor Tome, and Rev. Victor Cimperman. The chapel, including the auxiliary seating at the left of the altar, was completely filled. Following the Mass, an outdoor candle-light procession took place up and down the hill behind the shrine grotto. This was followed by the sung litany to the Blessed Mother and Benediction. Serving as ushers were Joseph Hočevar, Joseph S. Baškovič, Frank Sega, Matt Plečnik, and James Debevec. A nice crowd was also present Sunday at the 9:00 a.m. Mass in St. Vitus church for the annual St. Vitus Post 1655 Catholic War Veterans memorial service. Rev. Victor Cimperman was Mass celebrant. Eucharistic Ministers were James E. Logar and Robert Mills. At Mass Joseph S. Baškovič read the 175 names of the deceased veterans while Anthony Baznik lit candles in an impressive ceremony. Officer of the Day was Tony Baznik who directed the marching Catholic War Veterans. Riflemen were John J. Kirk Jr., Robert W. Mills, Sr., Steven Pior-kowski, James Logar, Anthony Grdina, William Lipoid, and Raymond Jasko. At 12 noon on Sunday there was another observance at Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in memory of the deceased Slovenian war heroes. This event was also filled with Slovenians who paid tribute to their departed friends and relatives. Although the weather was threatening with rain the entire weekend, none fell. The temperatures were in the 70s, making for a pleasant Memorial Day weekend weather-wise. * After the religious ceremonies on Saturday evening at the Shrine, the people were standing around talking, walking slowly to their cars, enjoying company of their friends. A lot of people would have liked to prolong the companionship. Here is a suggestion: After the Marija Pomagaj observances next year, why don’t we have a strawberry ice cream social? We could go to the St. Ann’s dining room in front of the Shrine parking lot, have the Rigler’s serve some of their delicious strawberry ice cream, and the pilgrims could sit down and socialize for a little while. That way we could relax and enjoy the company of friends, and at the same time make a few dollars for the Sisters who are in desperate need of funds for maintenance of the Shrine grounds. It’s a double win scenario. * We’re going to kick this column up another notch. I was reading the May 4 article in the Wall Street Journal about “Being Jewish.” The Jewish businessmen formed an organization known as the “Study Group,” which consists of the nation’s wealthiest and most influential Jews. They meet once or twice a year to promote the Jewish identity. They give money to each other’s charities, and make sure any student who wishes to travel to Israel has the means to do so. They support their religion and Jewish causes. It’s time the Slovenians do the same thing. The Slovenians by nature, seem to be very quiet.

Tops ?h quality dhd love. Inspire gratitude and appreciation. These teachers work h*rd and they do it FREE \ to their selves and are interested mainly in their family and dwellings. It’s time to expand horizons. We have to support our students, our teachers, and promote a free Slovenia. We can’t do this by writing articles to each other in private journals, or holding closed university lectures. We have to open our hearts and vistas. Every student who wishes to see Slovenia should have the funds to do so. We must further help students for 10 years and more beyond high school. — Education is a priority. The entire program will not only benefit the students, but Slovenia, the United States and other countries with Slovenian inhabitants as well. Civilization now has the world-wide web. We cannot think only of ourselves but our global predominance in society. Father Frederick Baraga dedicated his life and used his utmost influence to help those in need. How can we not follow his heroic guidance? Slovenia has been under the yoke of repressive powers for 1,200 years. On June 25, 1991 the country of our ancestors declared its independence. Our motherland is no longer subjugative. but Slovenian work ethic and proven learning ability are the merediems for a dy- namic authoritative role. We cannot think small because then we are small and stepped on like ants. Our vanguard position must come from the successful BUSINESS COMMUNITY who are accustomed to a persuasive, leadership, and problem solving role. Where do we begin? We emulate the advice of Frank Lovejoy, who played an American Army sergeant in Korea, in the movie, “Retreat Hell.” When a soldier asked him where do we take a stand. He turned his rifle upside down and stuck the bayonet into the ground and said, “Here! Now!” Our business leaders throughout the world must at this time step forward. Our Slovenian identify must not be swallowed by other countries, but be known and respected throughout the world. “We build our ideals and they in turn build us.” Right here, right now, ifs time for Slovenians to step up to the plate and hit 3 home run for our heritage.

In about three weeks, June 14, Flag Day, I’ll have it out again. Isn’t our American flag a most beautiful flag? Thirteen stripes, red and white, one stripe for each of our original colonies, and then 50 white stars on a dark blue background, one star for each of our United States. How often I thank God for the journey of my Mom and Dad from Slovenia to these United States. I love what they brought with them, their songs, customs, stories and the delicious foods we cherish now as our heritage. But I love most the American citizenship I received at birth, from my Mom and Dad. Because they had the courage it took to leave home and all security, f°r an uncertain future the Journey to America would have. Again, thank God they did it. My Dad wasn’t a story feller, and he didn’t mince w°rds. He told us what to ^o> and we did it or else, hen a job was done right, e was proud of us and told so- My Dad never sat me d°wn and said, “Rudy, I love my new country.” Yet, I know he loved his adopted country with a passion. When I was a kid, Memorial Day was celebrated at the end of May. On that Day the stars and stripes hung from the Flis porch. The flag was attached to a bamboo pole and propped between two nails in our porch support. The display of the flag was a must for every summer holiday. Today I took a walk and there seemed to be so few flags flying. Why? Old glory goes with brick homes, wooden homes, and any color. In fact the flag adds class to a dwelling. Since God created our world, there has never been such an experiment with people, land and government as in the United States of America. As long as the stars and stripes fly over our land, the successful experiment lives. Those who died for that flag and all it represents, knew that. I fly Old glory on all summer holidays so my family will learn to love and respect it, and all that it stands for, life, liberty and justice for all. What a beautiful thought, and it can be reality. It is up to you and I; so let’s start with the public display of our American flag, and be proud of it.

Debevec * I Tim’s column comparing I the control panel of his newer car to that of a B-17 control panel intrigued me. My thought was that his car must sure have a lot of instruments and controls. I decided to check out one of my old B-17 training manuals to see what the fortress panel really looked like. The enclosed copies are of the instrument panel in front of the pilot as well as the panels on the left side of his cockpit, not to mention the low frequency radio panel directly above his head. There were also other controls such as four throttles and mixture controls, an auto pilot, etc. the only gadget unreachable from the pilot’s seat was the primer. This was located on the floor at the co-pilot’s right. We always thought this was a stupid place to locate a control without which none of the engines could start. The co-pilots always had bruised knuckles from using the primer. We had a standing joke about the U.S. Government spending two hundred fifty thousand or so dollars for an airplane and equippjng it with a 25 cent instrument (the primer) to make it go. St. Mary’s Community Band Plans May 31 Concert The best place to be Sunday, May 31, at 6 o’clock in the evening will be the Collinwood Slovenian Home on Holmes Avenue. That’s when the St. Mary’s Community Band, under the direction of John Nemec, will be striking up the first number of its second annual spring concert. The concert will be about equally divided between lively Slovenian and American numbers, from marches and well-known polka medleys to Dixieland and show tunes. The St. Mary’s Band, now in its second year, would like to expand its numbers, and so we invite all Slovenian musicians who play any band instrument to come and join our group. Many parents perhaps still are not aware that playing an instrument enhances a child s mental development. The Japanese have long known this; that’s why they encourage all their middle and high school students to become involved in music. They know that IQ levels of students who play an instrument are significantly higher than that of their peers, and they have discovered that music students progress more quickly in computer studies. So parents, make sure to support any desire your children may have to play a musical instrument. Encourage them to participate in their school band or orchestra and eventually also our Slovenian community band. But first, bring them to a band concert that you and they are sure to enjoy on Sunday, May 31!

Albrecht. Of the items deemed essential about the city is No. 6 “Cleveland-Style Polka.” The article reads: “There’s only one music here that’s named for the city where it was born. Cleveland-style polka -stylized Slovenian melodies with an accent on accordion, rhythm sections and sax for a Big Band flavor -was pioneered by Matt Hoyer at the turn of the century and further boosted by William Lausche in the 1920s, says Tony Petkovšek, Polka Hall of Fame chairman. Through the ‘30s and ‘40s it was the trademark of local bandleaders Johnny Pecon, Johnny Vadnal and the reigning king of Cleveland-style polka, Grammy-award-winning Frankie Yankovic. There’s a kind of universal appeal to it, Petkovšek says. “It’s not just Slovenian, it’s middle-of-the-road music: danceable, but not too wild.” Enjoys Mercina’s column Ed and Julie Harbie of Seven Hills, Ohio renewed their American Home subscription plus made a generous donation for the printing press repairs and added a new subscription. They also wrote, “John Mercina’s column really stirred up my memories of those forgotten words that I used to hear. Thank you very much for your generosity and wonderful words of encouragement.

MAY 28, 1 998 e Ask The Travel Expert By Patricia Coil Euclid Travel Question: This summer, my family plans to go to Rome and visit the Sistine Chapel. Are women still required to cover their heads? Answer: No, but there is a very strict dress code enforced by the Vatican. Women must not wear sun dresses or any sleeveless top. No bare midriffs or miniskirts are allowed. Both men and women are prohibited from wearing shorts or cutoffs. Men may not wear tank tops. The most casual outfit permitted would be blue jeans and a T-shirt. Question: What is the maximum amount an airline will pay for lost luggage? Answer: If your luggage is lost on an international flight, the airline will pay up to $640 per bag. If the luggage is lost on a domestic flight the maximum amount is $1,250 per person. If you believe that the contents of your bags are worth more than this amount, you can purchase excess valuation when you check in at the airport. Question: If your luggage is damaged or lost, how much time do you have to file a claim? Answer: In most cases you have only 21 days to file a claim after the date of the loss. If you wait longer the airlines can simply deny your claim. To avoid embarrassment always check with the knowledgeable agents at Euclid Travel who can tell you in advance if you need to wear special clothes on your next vacation or cruise. If you have a question related to travel, write this newspaper or call Euclid Travel, 22078 Lake Shore Blvd., Euclid, OH 44123, or e-mail us at euclidtl@harborcom.net and the answer will appear in this column. j" Rhubarb Cake / Bread j 1 Vi c. brown sugar 2/3 c. oil 1 egg 1 c. sour milk 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. vanilla 2 Vi c. flour 1 Vi c. rhubarb diced Vi c. chopped nuts (optional) Mix sugar, egg, sour milk, and oil.

The one in Limbuš near Maribor has been observing the 850th anniversary all year long. At the recent symposium regarding the works of Pater Stanislav Škrabec, it was announced that all of his works had been published. Rev. Škrabec is considered by many to be the greatest Slovenist of the Eighteenth Century. Slovenian meteorologists working with French scientists have developed a new computer model for weather analysis.

A hug can cheer you when you’re blue. A hug can say “I love you so,” Or, “Gee, I hate to see you go.” A hug is, “Welcome back again!” And, “Great to see you!” or “Where have you been?” A hug can soothe a small child’s pain And bring a rainbow after rain. The hug! There’s just no doubt about it, We scarcely could survive without it. A hug delights and warms and charms, It must be why God gave us arms. Hugs are great for fathers and mothers Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers, And chances are some favorite aunts Love them more than potted plants. Kittens crave them. Puppies love them. Heads of state are not above them. A hug can break the language barrier, And make the dullest day seem merrier. No need to fret about the store of ‘em, The more you give, the more there are of ‘em. So stretch those arms without delay And give someone a hug today. © Santo Domingo In the Dominican Republic is the first city founded by Europeans in the Western Hemisphere.

Saturday, June 20 St. Clair Rifle Club Steak Dinner. — Shooting Tour- Cooking Corner Taste, Texture And Convenience Top Consumer Preferences (NAPS)—Foods that are delicious, unique and easy to prepare are highly sought by today’s cooks. According to one top industry expert, the “mother of all trends is taste and texture followed closely by convenience." All these trends are present in this spectacular, vegetarian recipe for Fig and Walnut Pasta. In the time it takes to boil the water for your pasta, you can complete much of the simple preparation—carmelize the onions, saute the figs and nuts and crumble the Gorgonzola cheese. This 6asy elegant entree is perfect for a family meal or served to a special guest. Add a fresh green salad and a loaf of crusty bread to round out the meal. California dried figs, bursting with sweet, sun-ripened flavor and delightful crunchy seeds combine with California’s finest chopped walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese to give a unique texture and incredibly rich flavor to this vegetarian dish. This recipe is inspired by the popularity of pasta and the classic pairing of cheese with dried fruit and nuts. For more recipes, contact Valley Fig Growers and Diamond Walnut Growers at P.O. Box 1547, Stockton, California 95201 or via the Internet at www.valleyfig.com or www.diamondwalnut.com.

Janezu Drnovšku vložila SDS oziroma Janez Janša, podprli pa so jo tudi SKD. Ustavna obtožba je bila vložena zaradi spornega slovensko-iz-raelskega varnostnega sporazuma. Razprava v parlamentu je bila dolga in z mnogimi hudimi besedami, prenašala pa jo je televizija. Ko je po dveh dneh razpravljanja, pri tem je bilo izrečenih zelo veliko hudih besed na vseh straneh, prišlo do glasovanja, je bilo 46 poslancev od 84 navzočih proti obtožbi, 28 pa jo je podprlo. Proti so glasovali predvsem SDS in SKD, Drnovšek je bil deležen podpore levega pola poslancev, a z njimi tudi SLS. J Drnovšek je na glasovanje reagiral takole: “Državni zbor je povedal svoje. Mislim, da je bil del razprav vsekakor koristen, del pa je vseboval tudi nekonstruktivno podtikanje. Po mojem so tudi Predlagatelji ustavne obtožbe vedeli, da slednja ni pravilno usmerjena, in so pač izkoristili to priložnost za splošno kritiko ln napad na predsednika vlade.” V zadnjem tednu so številni komentarji o morebitnih težavah v vladajoči koaliciji, tu predvsem med Drnovškom in Podpredsednikom vlade in predsednikom SLS Marjanom Podobnikom. Nekateri komentatorji se namreč sprašujejo, ali ne gredo stvari tako daleč, da bi ne bile na mestu predčasne volitve. Splošno mnenje Je namreč, da zaradi težav v vladi in pri sprejemanju nujno potrebnih zakonov oz. mform, je načeta tudi Drnovškova priljudnost med volilci. Izgleda tudi, da je fjradi težav, s katerimi se ubada tudi arjan Podobnik, da bi bil edini možni ^slednik Drnovšku prvak SDS Janez Janša. Politične stranke o odnosu med Cerkvijo in državo Sledi v celoti tekst članka v včerajšnjem Delofaksu: Pred približno mesecem dni je tajništvo sinode pripravilo prvo omizje o razmerjih med Cerkvijo, kulturo in družbo. Tema drugega, ponedeljkovega (tj. 25. maja) omizja pa je bil odnos med Cerkvijo in državo, kakor ga vidijo predstavniki parlamentarnih strank. Predstavnikov SNS (tj. Slovenska nacionalna stranka oz. Zmago Jelinčič, op. ur. AD) niso povabili, ker so po besedah voditelja omizja Štuheca stališča te stranke “nedemokratična in ekstremistična”, predstavniki DeSUS pa so zaradi nestrinjanja s to odločitvijo vabilo na omizje zavrnili. Udeleženci omizja so na kratko predstavili stališča svojih strank. Po Mirku Bandlju LDS izhaja iz ustavno opredeljene ločenosti države in Cerkve ter enakopravnosti verskih skupnosti. Vlada ne razmišlja o podpisu mednarodne pogodbe z apostolskim sedežem, vendar delovanja Cerkve v ničemer ne ovira. Po Marjanu Podobniku v SLS menijo, da bi se morala odprta vprašanja končati s sporazumom med Slovenijo in Vatikanom. Za Janeza Janša pa bi se večina odprtih vprašanj že lahko rešila, če bi bilo za to dovolj politične volje. Po mnenju Lojzeta Peterleta se v Sloveniji Cerkev demonizira kot v nobeni primerljivi državi. Tudi za Igorja Lukšiča je nujno, da na poti v Evropo rešujemo domače težave, saj neurejen odnos med državo in Cerkvijo producira konflikte v slovenski družbi in politiki. Mimogrede je spomnil, da je to omizje dovolj močno, da prenese Jelinčiča.

Preteklo nede(jo je bil na kratkem uradnem obisku Jean Chretien, predsednik kanadske vlade. Na brniškem letališču ga je pričakal premier dr. Janez Drnovšek. Maja predlani je bil Drnovšek obiskal Kanado in takrat povabil Lhretiena, naj obišče Slovenijo. Med obiskom v Sloveniji je Chretiena spre-. tndi predsednik Milan Kučan. Med obiskom so bili podpisani sporazu-ni.' 0 socialni varnosti med slovensko in kanadsko vlado, dogovor o izvaja-njn tega sporazuma in memorandum o soglasju med obrambnima ministrstvoma obeh držav o obrambnih odnosih. Odnosi med državama so od samostojnosti Slovenije dobri, leta 1995 je Kanada za slovenske državljane Pravila vizume in je Slovenya edina srednjeevropska država s takšno s nostjo. Nekaj časa je odprava vizumov veljala tudi za Češko, a se je an*da premislila in jih zopet uvedla. Chretien je odpotoval naprej v Bo-n° n smrti nekdanjega zagrebškega nadškofa, in ne samo na medicinskih vzrokih, ki s0 privedli do kardinalove predčasne smrti.

In spet ena vsem znana: “Pozimi ... ne cveto”, ki je izklicala zajetno moško vlogo z vsemi poudarki in lepoto harmonije. Končno še zadoščenje domači publiki: “With a Voice of Singing” (M. Shaw), močna skladba, naravnost alelujska, z veličastno, uravnoteženo harmonijo, vse nagrajeno z navdušenim ploskanjem. Konec - vsemu venec Skupna manifestacija U-speha in Slovenske pesmi je najsrečneje izbrana kot počastitvena oda patru Ven-delinu, ki ga, žal, ni bilo z nami. Njegove “Zabučale gore” so v resnici donele in preizkusile vsakega pevca ter ga - hvala Bogu — tudi potrdile, kajti je napolnila vse kotičke. Molske olepšave so mestoma zresnile publiko, ki je v tem še tesneje čutila odhajanje mladosti; vendar so se poslednji zdihljaji vrnili na slovensko “dur” lestvico. Klavirska vloga je podana brezhibno. Sledila je še težja, klasično umetniška preizkušnja s svetovnega tabernaklja, Wag-nerjev “Zbor romarjev”, ki s srhi prevzame germansko dušo in jo preplete z vr-nunskim ponosom, če je prav predstavljena - res pravo potrdilo hrabrosti za našo raven. In šlo je, pomi- slimo, prelilo se je v skupno zmagoslavje obeh zborov! Pravo bratsko, neskaljeno zadoščenje! Šlo je, tudi tam, kjer romarjem že pohajajo telesne moči, toda jih duh spet dvigne še pred ciljem. Ah, pevci dragi, izredno lepo je bilo slišati takšno soglasje, vzpon in zanos, zadoščenje v umiritvi Kaj je sledilo oz. s čemer se je koncert zaključil, je prišlo z Avsenikovih vrtov. Nastopili so vsi rodovi, okrog 80 udeležencev, da bi nam Deželo še enkrat pozdravili. Odpeta je “Slovenija, odkod lepote tvoje”, ne brez zmagoslavnega razpoloženja, zanosa in prevzetja, hrepenenj. Blagoslov vas je spremljal! Materi Sloveniji za - poljub. O vtisih se je mnogo besedičilo, saj je bil zdramljen vsakdo.

Jože Likozar Rojen je bil v Predosljah pri Kranju, kjer je preživel zgodnjo mladost v družini petih otrok. Ob koncu druge svetovne vojne, v ma-iu 1945, se je družina z mnogimi drugimi podala na begunsko P°t in v taborišču preživela štiri leta. Po teh letih negotovega živ« jenja je pokojni Jože leta 1949 z očetom in sestro prispel v Zdru-*ene države Amerike. Tu je odslužil ameriški vojaški rok in končal študij. Zaposlen je bil kot strojni inženir. Leta 1955 si je ustvaril finsko življenje. . R°kojni Jože je bil vsa leta faran cerkve sv. Vida in zadnjih • let tudi faran cerkve sv. Paskala Bajlonskega.

Nenadno in tiho si je poslovil od nas in odšel k Bogu. Po njegovi volji je bilo Tvoje delo dovršeno, čeprav si bil sam še poln načrtov. Za nas pa je s Tvojim odhodom nastala kruta praznina.

Odnosi med Slovenijo in Italijo imajo za sabo pestro zgodovino, četudi gre za komaj šestletno obdobje. Sama osvojitev Slovenije od Beograda je za italijansko diplomacijo bilo izvršeno dejstvo, čemur je januarja 1992 sledilo prav tako izsiljeno priznanje. Ne smemo namreč pozabiti, da jo je v tem prehitel Vatikan, ki je drugače zelo oprezen v takšnih situacijah. Takratna slovenska diplomacija je še istega leta uspela pravočasno doseči od Italije, da je priznala ustrezno nasledstvo Slovenije v celi vrsti mednarodnih pogodb, med katerimi je ključnega pomena Osimski sporazum o dokončnosti meja, na kopnem in na morju. Prav objava zadevne italijanske note v Uradnem listu (8. septembra 1992) je prebudila tržaške nacionalistične kroge, ki so očitno računali, da bodo v nejasnem položaju ribarili z zahtevo po reviziji predvsem osimskih dogovorov z vsemi posledicami na notranji in mednarodni ravni. Začeli so ostro nastopati proti vladi v Rimu, češ da je kapitulirala pred malo Slovenijo, in zahtevati vrnitev zapuščene i-movine italijanskih optantov iz Istre. Ko je na političnih volitvah (po odkritju znanih podkupninskih afer in temu sledečemu razpadu tradicionalnih vladnih strank prevladal desni Pol svoboščin in se je osnovala nova vlada pod predsedstvom Berlusconija, je le-ta začela tudi formalno postavljati Sloveniji omenjene zahteve. Sledila so t.i. oglejska pogajanja in zadevna notranja obračunavanja v Sloveniji. K sreči Berlusconijeva vlada ni trajala dolgo. Po njenem odstopu in novih volitvah je morala prepustiti krmilo države levosredinski koaliciji Oljke pod predsedstvom Romana Prodija. V novih razmerah ter pod pritiskom drugih evropskih držav in še posebno a-meriške vlade (slednja je bila namreč zaskrbljena nad morebitnim izbruhom napetostnega žarišča v tem delu Jadrana zaradi očitnega vpletanja italijanskih iredentističnih krogov v območju Istre) je nova Prodijeva vlada uvidela, da mora ubrati drugačno pot od prejšnje. Prišlo je tako do sprejetja kompromisnega predloga španskega diplomata Solane. Istočasno pa si je italijanska diplomacija zamislila načrt za politično in gospodarsko prodiranje v Vzohdno Evropo, v katero nujno vodi pot prek Slovenije in Hrvaške. Posnemajoč podobne težnje Nemčije v prejšnjem stoletju, so to “novo” italijansko pobudo imenovali “Ostpolitik”, ki naj poleg trgovanja in drugih oblik gospodarskega sodelovanja vsebuje tudi elemente vsestranskega političnega vplivanja, izrabljajoč v primeru Slovenije in Hrvaške tudi prisotnost italijanske manjšine v Istri in si tako ustvariti politični kapital pred notranjo opozicijo. V okvir te politike spada tudi pravkar izpostavljeno sodelovanje na vojaškem področju, poznanem kot trilaterala (Italija, Slovenija, Madžarska). Nobenega dvoma ni, da gre za široko zasnovano diplomatsko ofenzivo, katere cilj je, kot je bilo delno že povedano, vzpostaviti odločilen vpliv na sosednje države v zaledju, ne da bi v zameno morala plačati pošteno ceno, kot se- temu pravi. V ta voz politiki spretno vpletajo tudi obe manjšini, govoreč o njuni zaščiti in medsebojnih skupnih interesih obeh držav. Kakšnih otipljivih rezultatov doslej še ni videti, vsaj kar zadeva Slovence v Italiji, ki smo upravičeno zaskrbljeni nad zgolj enostranskim razvojem na tem tako občutljivem in za nas življenjsko usodnem področju. Vprašanje zaščitnega zakona se ne premakne iz parlamentarnih pisarn, četudi se zadevni zakonski predlogi vrstijo iz legislature v legislature od leta 1970 naprej. Po drugi strani pa je dobro znano in jasno razvidno, da italijanska stran stalno pritiska na slovensko, naj ugodi vsem zahtevam italijanske manjšine na Koprskem. Šele potem, daje vedeti med vrsticami, bo morda dozorel trenutek za sprejem zaščitnega zakona za Slovence v Italiji. Pred meseci je bilo prostorno šolsko poslopje za italijansko osnovno šolo v Izoli ob prisotnosti predsednikov Scalfara in Kučana. Koprska občina je začela postopek za uvedbo t..i. vidne dvojezičnosti v obliki javnih napisov vseh vrst, vključno na zasebnih obratih, za nespoštovanje katere so predvidene denarne kazni (v Trstu in Gorici pa se borimo za kak dvojezični napis na Krasu ali na kakem poštnem uradu pretežno slovenske občine!). Na nedavnem srečanju gospodarskih operaterjev in politikov z obeh strani meje v Portorožu je slovenski zunanji minister napovedal skorajšnje priznanje Unije Italijanov v Istri in na Reki tudi v Sloveniji in prikazal kot napredek, da je v parlamentarnem postopku zaščitni zakon za Slovence, čeprav že vrabci na strehi vedo, da je vsa zadeva zaenkrat preložena na konec leta...! Tudi ustanovitev že omenjene vojaške trilaterale je v marsičem nedorečena glede enakopravnega položaja vseh treh partnerjev.

Mučen potek procesa v Novi Gorici Op. ur. - Prvo poročilo o tem procesu je bilo ponatisnjeno iz Novega glasu pretekli petek. Tu je poročilo o procesu, ki je izšel v naslednji številki N G 14. maja. Gotovo bo list poročal o procesu vse do končnega izida. Morebitna nadaljnja poročila bom tudi našim bralcem posredoval Pred okrožnim sodiščem v Novi Gorici se je 5. maja začela obravnava proti 73-letnemu Vinku Kosovelu iz Šempetra pri Novi Gorici. Obtožen je vojnega hudodelstva proti civilnemu prebivalstvu, ki tudi v Sloveniji p° zakonu nikoli ne zastara. Kot komandir čete Vos (to je bila nekakšna tajna policija in obveščevalna služba) za območji Črnega Vrha nad Idrijo in Vojskega na Idrijskem naj bi med vojno ukazal poboj treh civilistov brez ustrezne sodbe in v nasprotju s pravili mednarodnega prava. Obtožni naj bi ukazal prijeti in usmrtiti Stanislava Cigoja iz naselja Malovše na Vipavskem, kar da se je zgodilo 13. oz. 14. decembra 1943. Po njegovem ukazu naj bi vosovci v bližini Predmeje nad Ajdovščino 2. ja" nuarja 1944 ustrelili Zofijo Petkovšek, dva dni kasneje pa še Ivana Novaka na Mrzlem Vrhu nad Ledinami-Vse tri naj bi med zasliševanjem in pred usmrtitvi)0 mučili. Na sodni obravnavi je potekalo zasličevanje obtoženega in približno dvajsetih prič. Med temi so bili °ek' danji vosovci ali pa ljudje iz krajev, kjer naj bi se d° ll Z ie godili omenjeni poboji. Njihove izpovedi so bile povec nejasne, včasih pretresljive, drugič med seboj izključuj0 če, v marsičem tudi pomanjkljive, kar je tudi razumljiv°’ saj je od dogodkov minilo že 56 oz. 55 let. Med izv® janjem dokazov so predstavili razne dokumente iz °aj različnejših vojaških, civilnih in drugih arhivov v Slove111 ji. Dne 8. maja je bila obravnava začasno prekinjena, se bo nadaljevala v kratkem. M- številne kritike v sredstvih javnega obveščanja v Sloveniji. Osrednji dnevnik Delo je 8. maja posvetil celo stran temu vprašanju. Glavni očitek vladi je ta, da se povsem pasivno prepušča pobudam italijanske strani in ponavlja besede o dobrem ozračju in skupnih interesih, ki niso podprte s konkretnimi podatki ali dejstvi. Prav tako navajajo, da je Italija v Bruslju zavrla postopek, da bi koprsko pristanišče dobilo status “evropske luke” in da so predstavniki kar sedem italijanskih ministrstev, vključno zunanjega, med nedavnim srečanjem s predstavniki organizacij istrskih in dalmatinskih beguncev med drugim vzeli na znanje zahteve omenjenih organizacij, da je treba spremeniti morsko mejo s Slovenijo. Upravičeno se kritiki slovenske zunanje politike v Sloveniji kot v zamejstvu v Italiji sprašujemo, kam vse to vodi.
