Synopsis

The public perception of Bela krajina has been marked by the wire on the border, a subject of far more debates than the economic and social issues that this cut-off region has been grappling with for many years. A closer look reveals that it was this creation of a “border between the East and the West” that greatly contributed to cutting this region off the rest of the country, despite its rich history of both trans-border connections and mass emigration. The author of the master’s thesis “Living by the Wire: socioeconomic consequences of the wire fence in Bela krajina” Nika Gračner has analyzed in detail the situation in her home region, which will help us understand the background of the current political situation.

The lecture is part of a larger project New Mappings of Europe, supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
