13. SOUNDBITE (Croatian) Katarina (surname not provided), Croatian woman resident in Gorizia:
"Yeah, yeah, we are very happy about this, especially locals here in Gorizia. This area feels a little bit overlooked, so to speak. The unique thing about it is that the town is split in two parts – a larger part is in Italy, and a smaller part is, of course, in Slovenia. I think this is very symbolic, especially in light of Europe today, and the opening of borders. This is all very interesting. Also, in schools around here both Slovenian and Italian are spoken, so that’s very unique and interesting too."

Nova Gorica, Slovenia – 8 February 2025
18. People watching performance/sign reading "Nova Gorica" in background
19. SOUNDBITE (Slovenian) Zarko Nemec, resident of Nova Gorica:
"When I was a child, my mother would take me across the border (to Italy) to work, as we had some land there. You cannot imagine that, it was great. Today, they talk about the Iron Curtain, the harshness, and so on – but I never felt any of that as a child. This was in the 1950s, I remember it all."
20. Various of artistic performance in front of the old customs house, on the very border between Slovenia and Italy
21. People in audience filming on their smartphones
22. SOUNDBITE (Slovenian) Petra Korlenc, historian from Nova Gorica:
"To us, this was a very normal situation. This (opening) started a long time ago. Today, we could say, it is like we’ve reached a peak, and we could say that there is like a quantum shift in the minds, perhaps even more affecting people than physical boundaries. Because we know that (Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia) Meloni is again sending soldiers to Italian borders. Recently someone asked me what I thought of this, all I could say was that it seemed a bit too harsh a form of control for the time we are living in, in the 21st century."
