Slovenija, like Croatia a former part of Yugoslavia lies just under Austria. The country escaped the civil war after Yugoslavias' fall with very few losses in life and infrastructure. Also the ethnic cleanups didn't happen here. As it was always the richest part of Tito's republic it now has a similare standard of living as his northern neighbour Austria. If you just look at the land and people you will have a hard time to notice any differences.
General mentality, cleanliness and friendliness are very close to Austria. German is spoken everywhere, english or french may pose problems but nothing unsurpassable as the country relies a lot on tourism. There are still much less foreign visitors than before the war and I thank God for that. But numbers are increasing every year.
