Austria. I see big difference between Croats and Slovenes, and we are culturally closest South Slavs to them. !

Austria.
National dress, national music, even food is more Central European than Italian/Croatian.

Well my grandfather would always say that Slovenians were different from the rest of Yugoslavians. Basically they were the black sheep of Ex-Yugoslavia and they don't have that friendly Balkanic attitude and that they were "cold" like Austrians.
Also they got really offended by being labelled as Balkan and Slavic too.
I've never met a Slovenian except on here. So I can't really say, but my Grandfather was a Yugoslav diplomat so he knows ex-Yugoslavia well.
So I'd say Austria. They seem different to us in all honesty, they integrated in EU really early, so they seem Western European to me.

I think with the northern Croatians and central Europeans generally.

His* explanation makes actually a lot of sense and his qualifications are high, since he lives in Slovenia. Except for the omitted fact that maybe the centre-east and some parts of the south have a lot of German influence since they hosted a German minority before it was cleansed by the Yugo-murderers after WWII.
Unless you are referring to the part where he mentions Serbia.

I can't say much because I don't know anything about Slovenia, but if you say he explained it well, then he sure did.
Don't listen to this clueless moron of a woman, she knows nothing and the only reason she disapproves with his post is because Arberori is Albanian.
Albanians can't know more about a Slavic country than a Serb because all Slavs are Serbs remember ?

You are half German half Slovenian of nazi orientation. Why do you speak on behalf of Slovenians?
Despite the bloody war and break-up of Yugoslavia, most people from former Yugoslavia do not consider as foreigners other people from the former Yugoslavia. Also, people from other Slavic countries are much closer to ex Yugoslavs than Austrians or Italians. Austrians and Italians are foreigners, so that "cultural influence" is just abstract term in this case.
Everyone who said something different is just lier with vivid imagionation or uniformed person who does not know anything about ex Yugoslavia.
That feeling should not be confused with friendship. For instance, the Russians and Ukraians are the similar nations, but Russia and Ukraina are at war currently.
Most Serbs consider Greece as the "greatest friend" of Serbia. Russia is also considered as a friendly country and historic protector of Serbia. Greeks and Serbs have similar mentality. Also, the mentality of Croats and other ex Yugoslavs are more similar to Greek mentality than German mentality.
Croats and Slovenians have no historical friends, but Croats and Slovenians of nazi orientation personally feel close to Germany and Austria. It is more servility and a feeling of inferiority than friendship or closeness of mentality, culture etc.
Some people from Adriatic coast consider themselves "Mediterraneans" and feel close to Italy.
I cannot see any similarity between Albania and Serbia. There is no similarity in national costumes, customs, mentality, culture or anyone else. Of course, there is no historic friendship.
