There are two facts that everybody here in Slovenia knows about this guy:
1. He's some polititian that apparently played a pretty big role in the independence
2. He can play a harmonica and uses almost every occasion to show that off

I love how quickly he through in the happy easter bit because he was so desperate to play the harmonica. 😂
