Yugoslavia was a federal country and it consisted of many nations. It’s army was called Yugoslav people army and it was the third strongest army in Europe. It was consisted of recruits from all the republics. When in 1991 started the destruction of the common state, YPA tried to stop it. Of course it did not succeed. But it did not give up – it tried by force in all the republics and it failed everywhere. And during this happening it changed from peoples’ into one of the most bloody and bestial armies … Slovenia was only the overture, for warming up, they were only learning, in some way, at us. But it doesn’t change the fact that we, Slovenians, got our independent republic with arms in our hands. We were defending. Successfully. Very successfully. And even my boot contributed a firm kick into their ass …

Little people as well, about whom the story goes and memory lives. Who went into uncertainty with only one thought – to defend their own firesides, their own state and their own dreams.
My story tells about them.
Little people.
