BBC about Slovenia

While searching the web, I´ve found an article on the BBC about Slovenia. Even though it is not up-to-date . it was writtten in January, I belive it is worth reading it as there are not often articles about Slovenia published on the BBC - I guess this was the last one. so thea say Slowenia is a country with spectacular mountains, thick forests and a short Adriatic coastline, also enjoys substantial economic and political stability.
So some facts:Slovenia has a rumbling dispute with Croatia over sea and land borders dating back to the break-up of Yugoslavia.
