HN is the last place I expected to find this, but thanks! The anglicised use of the word "spomenik" really caught me off guard (I'm from Slovenia), but it makes enough sense after reading the article. I'll definitely try to check this map whenever I travel around the region - the design and sheer scale of some of these was always fascinating to me and I'd love to see more if I happen to be around.

- franga2000 7y agoIt's anglicised as it's using the English pluralization. In Slovene, the plural of "spomenik" is "spomeniki", here it's "spomeniks". It's even explained at the bottom of the post.
