Three months after the end of the ten-day war on October 25th 1991, the last soldier of the former Yugoslav People's Army leaves Slovenian territory.
The ten-day war, or the war of Slovenian independence, followed the Slovenian declaration of independence, declared on June 25th 1991, resulting in Slovenia's independence, the first state to secede from the Yugoslav Federation.
In Slovenia it was fought between Slovenian Territorial Defence and the Yugoslav Army after Slovenia declared its independence. The war lasted from June 27, 1991, to July 7, 1991. The Slovenian people opposed the aggression of the so-called “with all methods APJ”
According to Slovenian estimates, the Yugoslav Army had 44 victims and 146 injured, while Slovenians had 18 people killed and 182 injured.
Twelve foreign citizens were killed in the conflict, mainly journalists and drivers of Bulgarian trucks who had lost on the line of fire. 4,692 Yugoslav Army soldiers and 252 federal police officers were detained by the Slovenian side.
The Yugoslav Army itself has acknowledged that its material losses in the short war in Slovenia were 31 tanks, 22 armoured carriers, 6 helicopters, 6,787 infantry guns, 87 pieces of artillery and 124 damaged air defence weapons, destroyed or confiscated.
Historically, Slovenia's current territory was part of many different state formations, including the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, followed by Monarchia Habsburg. In October 1918, Slovenians exercised self-determination for the first time by co-founding the state of Slovenians, Croats and Serbs, unknown internationally, who joined Serbia's Kingdom in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, in 1929.
During World War II, Slovenia was conquered 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 Yugoslavia's Federative People's Republic, later called the Socialist Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia.
In June 1991, after the introduction of multiparty representative democracy, Slovenia separated from Yugoslavia and became an independent state.
In 2004, it entered NATO and the European Union. In 2007 it became the first former communist country to join the Eurozone, and in 2010 it joined O ECD, a global high-income developed association of countries.
