Three months after the end of the ten-day war, on October 25, 1991, the last soldier of the former Yugoslav People's Army leaves Slovenian territory.

The Ten-Day War, or Slovenian war of independence, followed the Slovenian declaration of independence, announced on 25 June 1991, resulting in the independence of Slovenia, the first state to secede from the Yugoslav Federation.

In Slovenia, it was fought between the Slovenian Territorial Defense and the Yugoslav Army, after Slovenia declared its independence. The war lasted from June 27, 1991 to July 7, 1991. The Slovenian people resisted the aggression of the so-called APJ with all methods.

According to Slovenian estimates, the Yugoslav Army had 44 casualties and 146 wounded, while the Slovenians had 18 killed and 182 wounded.

Twelve foreign nationals were killed in the conflict, mostly journalists and Bulgarian truck drivers who were lost in the line of fire. 4,692 Yugoslav Army soldiers and 252 federal police officers were captured by the Slovenian side.

The Yugoslav Army itself has admitted that its material losses in the short war in Slovenia were 31 tanks, 22 armored personnel carriers, 6 helicopters, 6,787 infantry guns, 87 artillery pieces and 124 air defense guns damaged, destroyed or confiscated.

Historically, the current territory of Slovenia was part of many different state formations, including the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, followed by the Habsburg Monarchy.

In October 1918, Slovenes exercised self-determination for the first time by co-founding the internationally unrecognized State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, which merged in December with the Kingdom of Serbia into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929.

During World War II, Slovenia was invaded and annexed by Germany, Italy and Hungary, with a small area transferred to the Independent State of Croatia, a Nazi puppet state. After that, he was a founding member of the People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, later renamed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

In June 1991, after the introduction of multi-party representative democracy, Slovenia separated from Yugoslavia and became an independent state.

In 2004, it joined NATO and the European Union, in 2007 it became the first ex-communist country to join the Eurozone, and in 2010 it joined the OECD, a global association of high-income developed countries. .
