Summary/Abstract: When, on 1st of May 2004, Slovenia joined EU, collective feelings bordered on the ecstatic. A massive campaign which was set up during the joining process, culminated in the count down stage of the last month. On and around that day, political speakers, priests, advertisers, educators, celebrities and cultural workers endorsed the same language, recycled same syntagms, competed to contribute most to “Eurocentric madness.” Exemplary of the working of mass psychology, self-identification of Slovenia as a new EU member turned, as one scholar put it, the joining process into a symptom of Eurosis: a mental state resembling the Freudian case (Velikonja, 2005: 11).
