“Deep in the heart of the eastern slopes of the Alps is the home of Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty: Slovenia. … Slovenia is a magical fairyland, home to the rarest of mythical creatures …”. This is how Academy Award winning writer and director Michael Moore portrays Slovenia in his 2015 documentary: Where to Invade Next.
Whether you approve of Moore’s views and analysis of US society and politics or not, one thing is certain, there is at least one miracle that Slovenia can be credited for. I’m talking of course of a sports miracle of the Slovenian national basketball team winning the title at EuroBasket in 2017.
