B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 243408640King Alexander's dictatorship in Yugoslavia (proclaimed 1929) was an expression of the real political need for consolidation of the situation in the country; however, in its essence, it represented an autocratic and repressive regime. The more decisive democratic-ideological moves did not even occur later. Such situation also defined the relationship between the Slovenes and Yugoslavia. Slovenian politics (as well as other Yugoslav political factors), however, failed to create an environment that would enable true democratic compromises. The state was stuck at “standstill”.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 2714228The TV programme portrays France Bučar, who had decisive influence on the process of the Slovenian democratisation and attainment of Slovenian independence in the end of the 1980s and the beginning of 1990s. The fact that he was the President of the Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia meant that he had extraordinary power and decisive influence on the legislative stage in the process of establishing the Slovenian state, which was so meticulous and legalistic that the international community could not overlook it (no matter how hard it tried).

COBISS.SI-ID: 2730868The exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary History in Ljubljana showed the establishment of the Social Democratic Alliance of Slovenia. Its opening also included a round table, where amateur films about its establishment in 1989 were shown, significantly more extensive than those stored in the archives of RTV Slovenia. The founders of this party were invited to participate at this round table, and the period from the notable Litostroj Strike until the establishment of the Social Democratic Alliance of Slovenia was discussed.
