The story of Slovenia is also the story of its people and customs. We Slovenes see ourselves as hard-working and dilligent. We approach the things we love to do with great passion, energetically and with great zeal. We are proud of who we are and of what we have achieved. And it goes without saying that we appreciate it when we receive credit for it. Slovenes will mention – apart from family and good health – honesty as one of our principal values. We also see our mother tongue, Slovene, as a value and a distinctive feature, which unites us and makes us who we are – Slovenian. We tend to be individualistic, yet we do know how to play in a team. We are passionate about what we love. And that is precisely what we excel at most.
