Slovenia and Austria at the crossroads of mutual relations. Slovene-Austrian relations as hostage of the troubled legacy of the 19th and 20th centuriesGrafenauer, Danijel (Avtor) AustriaSloveniacross-border relationshistorystereotypesAustria and Slovenia are neighbours and friends, closely linked both geographically and historically. Over time, their peoples have developed various perceptions, stereotypes, and prejudices about each other.
