Abstract

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: May Declaration, Ivan Cankar, Slovenia, Declaration Movement, National Council for Slovenia and Istria, State of SHS, National Government of SHS in Ljubljana Excerpt: After the proclamation of the May Declaration on May 30, 1917, Ivan Cankar uttered the first mentioning of Slovenia as a national political entity on July 15, 1917. On August 2, 1917, the Catholic All-Slovenian People's Party (VLS) was in favour of the formation of a United Slovenia in the transdualistic Austrian Yugoslav community. In the spring of 1918, the word Slovenia was repeatedly pronounced by the VLS, and Ljubljana was proclaimed the Slovenian capital. With the establishment of the National Council for Slovenia and Istria in Ljubljana on August 16 and 17, 1918, the idea of Slovenia gained political ground. The author interprets the year 1917 and the May Declaration as a historical milestone after which the Slovenian national political development was focused on the formation of a Slovenian state entity and on the simultaneous experience of its national statehood. The autonomy of the Slovenian state law was not preserved in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians/Yugoslavia, and in the second Yugoslavia it was expressed in the federal position of Slovenia in the composite Yugoslav state. In 1991, with the proclamation of the Republic of Slovenia, Slovenia became a state name.
