Hi Sigmund,

it seems that my message was lost in the previous reply, so I post it
again.
I didn't know about this claim of the Slovenians, but I can not take
it seriously.
The Veneti of the modern Veneto/Venezia region were not Slavs and
became relatively early romanized. There were no Slavs in the area
before the "ordinary" great slavic migration.
