Family VIDIC
Paule Vidic originates from a peasant family
of eight children, some 50 km away. For a small country as Slovenia
is, distance of 50 km means a different region with different dialect
and habits. Stafka Vidic, wife of Paule was born in this house.. Actually
when Paule got here , farm was small and could not provude for a small
family . They build new house , stables rented more land …, and now
after 15 years of hard work they live conformable life: new big family
house, building smaller house in vineyard , modern machinery for work
in the fields, 30 cows and modern system for milking -collecting milk,
10 ha of his own land and 16 ha renting…. carpenters workshop, two good
cars …. Stefka beside all the work at home and occupation with three
children is also doing full time job of food technologist for milk control
. Paule is peasant, but beside that he has also supplementary carpenters
trade where he produce pieces of furniture for nearby big furniture
industry NOVOLES, Paule started his career as doorman at the factory

Entering EU -YES it is positive for having opportunity for commerce
, BUT for country and peasants, Slovenian culture will disappear - our
collective conciseness and social life will disappear…

Which country would you think of first when you say Europe …
AND what is your opinion about NATO ?
What could you say positive about EU - and our future in it …
What do you think the futere will bring ?
…………. Yes it will be positive for our government
