Führerschein mit slowenischem "Č,Š,Ž" kostet 60€ mehr - Slowenen in Italien sind wütend
03.04.2023

28.03.2023
"Recognition of the Sorbs as an "indigenous people" according to ILO Convention 169 would not magically bring us political self-determination and autonomy. Anyone who addresses politicians and the media with appropriate ultimatums is acting counterproductively and distorting international legal provisions and political realities.
