4: CASE STUDY 1: THE ITALIAN/SLOVENIAN BORDER During the Cold War the section of the mountain closest to the border was a closed military area both on the Yugoslavian and the Italian side. Soon after the village of Gonjače a road leads up to the top of the mountain and large concrete roadblocks that were once part of a barrier system here to control movement of vehicles in and out of this closed area are now placed on the side of a car park to make sure nobody drives too close to the steep mountain edge. At the end of this road, near the ridge of the mountain, former Yugoslavian barracks are located 266 m from the border with Italy. No information about these barracks are available in local archives and as most of the guards who were stationed here came from other parts of Yugoslavia not much is known of the place by people living locally. On the side of the entrance to the barracks I find a gate barrier discarded on the ground. It is blue, white and red with a faded red star on the square weight (Figure 23). In its original place there is now an iron gate, stopping any approaching vehicles. Just on the other side of the gate there is a small guard hut, now without direct purpose. The compound is not very large and consists only of two buildings, 12x16 m and 9x15 m, and a large platform, 80x25 m at the widest point, out front where several commemorative stones to the First World War are located. The former Yugoslavian military barracks near the border are not big enough to have housed a large group of border guards but facilitated a constant, small scale border control force. Facilities to entertain the guards can be seen in the basketball court still painted on the forecourt to the barracks suggesting they spent time here when they were not in service (Figure 24). The basketball nets have been removed but their position is still clear in the ground where the metal poles have been cut off and are now rusting into the tarmac. On the side of the basketball pitch seats for viewers have been built into the slope behind it. A small museum is held in one of the buildings with some objects relating to the First World War history in the area but it was closed during my visits, both in 2008 and in 2011, and therefore not possible to gain access to. 83
