 Tuerk: Patriotism and Ambition to Honour General Maister
The best way of honouring WWI General Rudolf Maister's memory is by being a cohesive, patriotic and ambitious nation, said President-elect Danilo Tuerk, as he addressed a ceremony in honour of Maister in Ljubljana on Thursday.
Tuerk attended the ceremony at the Defence Ministry held on the eve of Rudolf Maister Day, which is celebrated to mark the day in 1918 when Maister (1874-1934) took control of the city of Maribor in what is seen as a move which secured that northeastern Slovenia became part of Yugoslavia rather than Austria.
It is largely owing to General Maister that Maribor and the northeast of Slovenia became part of the new Yugoslav state rather than Austria following the decline of the Austrian Hungarian Empire.

We were wandering near the statue of Rudolf Maister when we were stopped by an elderly lady who, recognising we were visitors, asked us where we were from and what had brought us to Maribor.
She spoke to us first in German, and then in fairly broken English (though much better than our very few words of Slovene) and told us about Maribor's most famous residents: Maister, in the picture and a writer, whose name I've forgotten.
This was our first chance to speak to anyone in Slovenia (apart from the customs officers on the train) and she was friendly and very helpful, recommending some of the sights of Maribor and telling us where we could get some tolars.
