Vzdušje poplebiscitnih dni: kratek vpogled v medijsko poročanje na prelomu med letoma 1990 in 1991
The Post-Plebiscite Atmosphere: A Brief Insight into Media Reporting Between 1990 and 1991

Summary/Abstract: The paper provides an overview of the wider social atmosphere from the plebiscite to the first days of 1991, when it was finally clear that the only possible solution for Slovenia was to leave Yugoslavia. Although there were still individual voices that allowed for the possibility of confederation, the political and economic situation in the country deteriorated to such an extent that Slovenia had to think primarily of protecting its own interests. The author presents the prevailing atmosphere in Slovenia based on newspaper sources. Despite some differences of opinion, the period around the plebiscite united the Slovenes, which was also indicated by a high voter turnout in the plebiscite and a high percentage of votes for an independent country, the Republic of Slovenia. Politicians, regardless of their party affiliation and differences, were aware that measures for the implementation of the plebiscite had to be initiated immediately after the plebiscite and that Slovenia's position in negotiations with the federal authorities and other republics had to be consolidated.
