At the final stage of the Second World War, the Slovenian people had to rebel against the occupants with weapons in their hands. But the success of this struggle was predetermined by the defeat of the main forces of the fascists on the Soviet-German front. Therefore, at present, the victorious nations need to rally together to defend the historical truth and honor of our common Victory," said Alexander Mikhnovsky at the opening ceremony.
