Vilenica festival takes on strong political note

Sežana, 7 September - The Vilenica literary festival will officially kick off on Wednesday evening in the south-western town of Sežana to open discussions on literature and ethics, which are important because "political elites are full of ethics, but have no idea what the term really means", said Ivo Svetina, Slovenian Writers' Association (DSP) boss.
