He described the decision-making process that led to the independence of Slovenia, regarding the allegations that his statement that independent Slovenia was not his personal decision, he said that his words were taken out of context. “My primary responsibility was to try to keep Slovenia in a united state, if it can be transformed into one that guarantees the historical interests of the Slovenian nation. When it was found that this was no longer possible, it was necessary to work on another concept, on another alternative, and this alternative was independence.
I am proud of how Slovenia went down this path and I am proud of my share in it,” he said. Kučan misses the pursuit of peaceful solutions in today’s global diplomacy. “He talks only about war and armaments, about peace he does not think about.”
