Slovenia has imposed an embargo on arms exports, imports, and trafficking to Israel. The measure, announced Thursday evening by Slovenian President Robert Golob, the liberal, after a government session, makes the Balkan country the first in the European Union to act so forcefully against Tel Aviv. The Slovenian government's ban includes "the export and trafficking of arms and military equipment from or through Slovenia to Israel, as well as imports from Israel to Slovenia," with the exception of equipment needed by Ljubljana for "security and resilience."

The Slovenian city of Maribor is best reached by train. This is how entrepreneur Josef Erdman does it. in the book Aurora borealis by Drago Jancar. Don't worry, you won't find an almost apocalyptic landscape like the one in this novel set in 1938, when Europe was on the brink of tragedy. You can go down to the train station and walk leisurely up the Drava River, walking through the center of the town. The idea is to cross the river and reach a kind of kiosk you'll find next to the Plaza de la Revolució.
