The article focuses on an IEC study carried out in 2015 that for the first time offers a comprehensive history of the Catholic Church administration in the Porabje region in Hungary from 1945 until the present with regard to the use of the Porabje dialect of Slovene. The Porabje dialect has been present in the religious life of Slovenes in two parishes from the late nineteen-eighties. But due to the lack of Slovene priests and failure by the Szombathelyo (Sombotel) bishopric to understand the situation in Porabje, use of the language has started to fade away. For the preservation of the Porabje dialect, cooperation between the Porabje and Prekmurje regions is vital. 2.

COBISS.SI-ID: 12877901After the arrival of the Red Army in Prekmurje in April 1945 and the takeover of power by the Partisans, the Hungarians in the region suffered a number of injustices. The greatest occurred in Hrastovec, or rather in the prison camp established in the castle there, on the night between 9 and 10 July 1945 when the Yugoslav authorities (the Partisans) interned 558 Prekmurje Hungarians from 19 villages and then transferred some of the internees to the camp at Strnišče near Ptuj. With the exception of the village of Petišovci all the Hungarians from the settlements around Dolnja Lendava were interned. The majority (more than 80%) were old people, women and children. Most of them were allowed to return home at the end of September. Of the 558 internees, 19 died, including six children.

COBISS.SI-ID: 12936269Past emigration from Slovenia involved the departure of Slovenes to other continents, as well as various Western European countries, but women also went to work in what is now Croatia. The latter process began before World War I, with small numbers of women moving to industrial centres, such as Zagreb, Rijeka, Split and Osijek. It began to happen on a much larger scale between the two World Wars. This article presents findings relating to the young Slovene women working in Croatian towns. This theme has previously attracted very little attention from Slovene scholars. The way the women organised themselves and provided mutual support are presented, along with the research model used.

COBISS.SI-ID: 282436096The paper briefly presents the findings of the postdoctoral research project “Evaluation of the current state and development potential of the Slovene minority in Italy”. A model is presented that facilitates a comprehensive evaluation of the position of the selected minority and its development potential. The model is designed to overcome the partial approach taken by different disciplines that have focused on different aspects of this issue. The author applies the model to the Slovene minority in Italy and presents some of the results of her study.
