Story about the golden
goose who run away

In
the eyes of many a Yugoslavian despot, Slovenia is the golden goose that got
away. Rich in resources, naturally good looking and persistently peaceful,
Slovenia
has been doing just fine (flourishing, even) since breaking away from its
Yugoslav owners in 1991. Travellers in search of an antidote to much of
Europe's crowds and high prices can, at least for the meantime, consider it
their little secret. Little Slovenia (Slovenija) straddles Eastern
and Western Europe. Many of its cities and towns bear the imprint of the Habsburg
Empire and the Venetian Republic, while up in the Julian Alps you'd
almost think you were in Bavaria. The 2 million Slovenes were economically
the most well off among the peoples of what was once Yugoslavia,
and the relative affluence of this country on the 'sunny side of the Alps'
is immediately apparent. Except for a brief period in June and
July 1991 when Yugoslavia attempted to stop its smallest child from leaving
its collapsing nest, there's been no fighting, no war and no
terrorism in Slovenia. While Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina
became embroiled in the bitterest conflict in Europe since WWII,
Slovenes got on with making money and keeping out of the limelight.
