Slovenia

About the flag

The flag shown is the national flag of Slovenia, which features three horizontal stripes in white, blue, and red, with the Slovene coat of arms in the upper hoist side. This coat of arms includes three golden stars and represents the historical region of Carniola, while the blue symbolizes the sky, the white stands for peace, and the red signifies courage. Slovenia, located in Central Europe, declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, and its flag reflects a blend of Slavic heritage and the nation's natural landscape. To remember Slovenia's flag, think of the colors representing the Slavic pan-Slavic flag, while noting the distinct coat of arms that sets it apart from similar flags, like those of Russia or Serbia. This unique combination makes Slovenia's flag a significant symbol of national identity and pride.
