That's a really weird finding - especially where Slovenia is only ~1 hour away from Vienna.
I think, people still didn't get rid of the feeling that the world ends on the eastern border of Austria - you know, like Columbus and the earth as a disk ;-)
One shouldn't forget that the "iron curtain" was closed till late 80s and Slovenia as a country became independent in 1991...
