ZgodoWeekend traditionally begins with Vestirnga, the annual familiarization of military conscripts organized by the Defense Administration, whereby conscripts are brought to the event on traditional conscription wagons. The lively event continues on Saturday with an enriched museum program, numerous museum guided tours and the Stanislav Požar Barracks open day, and culminates on Sunday with demonstration drives of armored vehicles from the collection’s rolling stock and a dynamic presentation of the Slovenian Army and Police.
