Slovenia Weekly: Goodbye 2022. Welcome 2023.

2022 is drawing to a close. What will Slovenia remember it for? The relaxation of coronavirus measures. A new government – Dialogue. Stability. Trust. High costs of food and energy. The World Volleyball Championship. The first female president of Slovenia. European Oscar for Granny’s Sexual Life. And many other things besides.

What will 2023 bring us? Let it be a surprise.

Let us be thankful for the year that has past and let us be thankful for he coming year. We have the opportunity to start a fresh. May the New Year bring us good health, happiness, peace and prosperity. Happy New Year to us all.

    Dear citizens, Fellow Slovenes, Dear compatriots at home and around the world.

    The year behind us was a year of great challenges. From the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, to the rising prices. But it was also a year that brought many positive things to Slovene society.
