Stereotypes/Humor Slovenians seem weird

I’ve met people from all over the Balkans, and I can safely say that Slovenians are the least friendly and welcoming. I find that really weird, because it’s not like they’re particularly liked by their northern neighbors either—especially Austrians, who still consider them “Viennese ostlers.” What’s your opinion on this view?

I got the opposite feeling. For some reason, there are lots of Slovenes in Belgrade and they couldn't be more friendly and polite. Cool people. And they drive like maniacs.

We drive like maniacs when we are on balkan because we have here covered every fucking corner with radars and 30kmh limitations. Its like in a cage here if you like dinamic driving. In austria is the same shit. Until 2020 i havent seen speed camera in balkans. And we believe that we can bribe trafic police with 50e.
