Meaning of the flag of Slovenia
The white, blue and red colors are Pan-Slavic and come from the historic duchy of Carniola. On the coat of arms, Triglav stands for the nation, the wavy lines for the sea and rivers, and the three stars come from the arms of the medieval Counts of Celje. The flag was adopted in 1991, when Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia.
