I. POKRAJINSKI SLET S.K.J. LJUBLJANA
1st Regional Slet of Yogoslav Sokols, Ljubljana
Sokol was popular in other Slavic countries, including Yugoslavia, after
its formation post-WWI. Sokol games were held there as early as 1922, with
the first major Slet in 1933.
Postcards were produced for the occasion, of course.
"Pokrajinski" means "Regional"
A set of two Yugoslav postage stamps was issued for the occasion,
