The Yugoslav-Czechoslovak League in Celje, founded in 1926, set as its goal the strengthening of ties and friendship in all fields between the newly established Yugoslav and Czechoslovak states. Throughout its existence, its President was Dr Juro Hrašovec, who, along with the teacher and intellectual Janko Orožen, was also its driving force. The Celje League successfully organized numerous lectures on Czechoslovakia, held celebrations on President Masaryk’s birthday and on the Czechoslovak National Day, organized free Czech language courses, a holiday camp for Czech schoolchildren, etc. The League was constantly plagued by financial problems: membership was not large (between 40 and 60 throughout the period), and membership fees were low. The management and the members were left almost to their own devices and their own resourcefulness.
