I could see it and feel it when I was there in March. The tour guides talked a lot about how the direction of the country was changing so much and they were separating themselves from EU, made little snide remarks about immigrants and the Peace Way had been vandalized. They, Slovenia & Poland are all moving to quickly to the right and have formed their own little coalition. It's still great to visit the Alps in Austria and the orchestras in Vienna are top notch, but I would never even consider moving to any of those countries which are going backwards swiftly.
