  Carinthia (province) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carinthia (Slovene Koroška) is an informal province in the north of Slovenia.

Carinthia has mines (lead, zinc, and magnesite) and well-developed farms (especially in the fertile Drava, or Drau, plain).
In 976, Carinthia, which then included Istria, Carniola, and Styria, was detached from Bavaria and made an independent duchy.
Acquired by Ottocar II of Bohemia in 1269, it fell to Rudolf I of Hapsburg in 1276 and in 1335 became an Austrian crown land.

 Slovenian in Austria
The Austrian Supreme Court has since decided that primary bilingual education should be offered in the town of Klagenfurt as well as in the original bilingual territory.
Although Austrian school laws grant the possibility for bilingual general secondary schools or schools where Slovenian is used as a medium of instruction, there are no general secondary schools in which Slovenian is used as a medium of instruction.
In the Austrian universities and art colleges, as well as in the recently established Fachhochschulen (post-secondary special-subject colleges) the medium of instruction generally is German with the exception of particular courses (e.g.

On the Slovene ethnic territory the Germanization processes expanded tremendously: from the year 1846 to 1910 the portion of Slovene population fell on the Slovene ethnic territory in Styria from approximately 96% in 1846, 85.5% in 1880, 84.6% in 1890 and 87.3% in 1900 to 81.7% in 1910.
Furthermore, on the Slovene ethnic territory of Carinthia this portion fell from 95% in 1846, 70% in 1880, 64% in 1890, and 56% in 1900 to 45% in 1910.
Only of them, that is the Nazi Census of 1939 had the task of determining the settlement cores of the Slovene population in Carinthia with the aim of forcibly transporting the Slovenes with less difficulty; it also determined other demographic characteristics of the population and thus served only as a determinant of the ethnic structure.

The head of the Austrian province Carinthia and former leader of the FP, Jörg Haider, had declared that new elections would be necessary next month.
According to Austrian law, 100,000 signatures are sufficient to force an open discussion of the issue in parliament.
All of the Austrian parties are seeking to profile themselves as the representatives of these layers, although it is the FP which has operated most aggressively to openly transform these concerns into racism.

An interesting proposal was made to set up a railway link between Carinthia (Klagenfurt) and Styria (Graz), Austria, via the Drava valley (Klagenfurt, Bleiberg, Holmec, Dravograd, Maribor, Graz) which would significantly speed up development both in Austrian Carinthia as well as in the Slovene municipalities in the Drava Valley.
As one possibility of using the natural resources of Slovene as well as Austrian Carinthia, Mayor Haderlapp suggested a cycle path linking Austrian and Slovene towns across the Pavlič Pass and Luže, modelled on the example of Lake Garda in Italy.
Austrian Carinthia will be able to exert some influence on which variant will be chosen, as it is financing up to one-third of the road-linking project between Austrian Carinthia and neighbouring provinces or countries.

 Ethnic Cuisine: Austria
Austrian cuisine in general: It is the culinary reflection of an ethnically mixed people who, during the many centuries of the Austrian Habsburg empire's expansion and contraction, have exchanged culinary know-how with Turkish, Swiss, Alsacian, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, German, Bohemian-Moravian, Hungarian, Polish, Croatian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Serbian, and Jewish cuisine.
Coffee seems to be a staple nourishment to Austrians, who are very selective about the type of coffee they prepare and about the type of coffee beans they use for their coffees.
Whether Austrian coffees are served simply fl, with or without milk, or fancy -- with sugar sprinkles, with pieces of chocolate, with cherries, or spiked with liqueurs and brandies -- all have their special coffee name in the Austrian classic list of hot beverage.

Subsequently, with the support of the conservative Austrian Peoples Party (ÖVP), he was elected by the Carinthia state parliament as the new regional Landeshauptmann (governor).
Actually, many of the factors contributing to Haider's success are not that unique: Carinthia, the southernmost Austrian state, with a population of 700,000, is a relatively poor region in the EU with the highest unemployment rates and lowest wages in Austria.
On the other hand, Carinthia is the only Austrian region where the FPÖ has traditionally had a mass base, with a strong vote, public representatives and developed organisations.

Carinthia was the center of the inter war German Nationalist Party of Austria (Deutschnationale Partei) and it is a place of work of the current right wing governor Jörg Haider and the Freedom Party (FPÖ).
On the other hand Austrian politicians believe that further improvements for the Slovene minority should be interlinked with the greater protection for the German-speaking minority and Austrian heritage in Slovenia.
On December 13, 2001 the Austrian High Court decided that the then regulation, which made bilingual signage dependent on the fact whether a particular minority constitutes 25 percent of the municipality’s population, was unconstitutional.

 The Slovenes - history of the nation
Slovene settlement in Austria waned as early as the 13th century: German colonization reached the Villach Basin in Carinthia, the Graz Basin in Styria, and the Sora River flood plain in Carniola, and Italian colonization dominated the Friulian lowlands.
With a new wave of German colonization from the north, the ethnic border was entrenched running across Hermagor in the Gail Valley, Mount Dobratsch, Villach, Maria Saal, the Saualpe mountain range, Mount Kozjak, Radgona/Bad Radkersburg, and the Kucnica River by the 15th century and remained until the middle of the 19th century.
The provinces of Styria, Carniola, Carinthia, Istria, and later Gorizia were recognized together as “Inner Austria.” In the first half of the 15th century, the princes of Celje were greater than the Hapsburgs, but the Hapsburgs inherited their territory when the last of the Celje dynasty died.

There were also interventions of Austrian diplomacy in favour of local economy; Haider was among the first to demand shutting down of the nuclear power station in Krsko, once and for all.
And due to Austrian pressure Slovenian government gave in concerning tax free shops having promised that they would be liquidated by the end of the year, although its full membership in EU is still far away.

From the Austrian government it should claim, that it protects the Slovenian minority from nationalistic attacks and in their country enable the Slovenian people and the Slovenian language an undesturbed cultural development.
SM in its statement also warns, that in Austrian Carinthia the Slovenian minority, as so many times until now, was made an issue of prevotal manipulations by nationalistic Carinthian politicians and the decision of the Austrian constitutional court, which dictates putting up bilingual local signs, isn't carried out.
In that atmosphere the Slovenian language in Carinthia is further disappering from the formal, scholar and even private use, which was noticed by the Preseren prize winner of this year, the Carinthian Slovenian writer Florjan Lipus, in his speach.

However, Austrian minority representatives have strongly criticized the fact that the law also allows ORF to broadcast these programs on private radio stations and therefore frees the state broadcaster from its obligation to provide such a service.

The leader of the province of Carinthia, Jörg Haider, in December 2001 announced that he considers the ruling to be a joke, and he intends to ignore it.

Despite the shared opinion that the co-operation between the National Council and the Austrian national parliament as well as the provincial parliament of Austrian Styria has so far been functioning on friendly ground, the co-operation should be strengthened, mainly by establishing a co-operation with the parliaments of Austrian provinces at the Slovenian-Austrian border.
During his talks with Gruenbuehel, Susnik also emphasised the importance of the Slovenian ethnic community in Austrian Carinthia as the key element for bilateral co-operation and development.
