New Canyon, Open Boating and a Rally
Its been really busy since I have returned from Slovenia, a new canyon on the south side of Loch Tay, some open boating on the upper Tay and The Colin Mcrae Forest Stages Rally.
A little bit of Sloveia
Just a few photos from our recent trip to Slovenia.
A country with spectacular mountains, thick forests and a short Adriatic coastline, Slovenia initially also enjoyed substantial economic and political stability after gaining independence from Yugoslavia.
It was the only one of the former Yugoslav republics to be in the first wave of candidates for membership of the European Union. It joined in May 2004.
Just a couple of months before EU entry, Slovenia became a member of Nato.
Unlike Croatia or Bosnia-Hercegovina, Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia was relatively bloodless.
The move was undoubtedly aided by Western European recognition of the Slovenes' aspirations and the low proportion of other ethnic groups in the country.
On 1 January 2007, it became the first of the new EU member states to join the eurozone. A year later, it became the first former communist state to take on the EU presidency.Slovenia had always been the most prosperous region of the former Yugoslavia and found the transition from a socialist economy to the capitalist free market easier than most.
Politically, Slovenia was the most liberal republic within Yugoslavia. Throughout the 1980s there was pressure from Slovenia for greater political freedom and pluralism in the federation.
This reputation was tarnished after independence when thousands of nationals of other former Yugoslav republics were removed from population records and lost residency rights.
Parliament later passed a bill restoring their citizenship but a referendum held shortly before EU entry in 2004 overturned it by an overwhelming margin. Human rights groups expressed dismay at the move which embarrassed the leadership as it prepared to celebrate EU membership.
Slovenia's relations with Croatia have long been strained on account of a rumbling dispute over sea and land borders dating back to the break-up of Yugoslavia.
Ljubljana dropped its opposition to Zagreb's entry into NATO in March 2009, but continued to block Croatia's EU membership bid for a further eight months, only agreeing to lift the embargo after a deal had been signed on the Piran border dispute in November 2009.
The centre-right opposition demanded a referendum on the border deal, which the public narrowly approved in a June 2010 plebiscite.
