Slovenian Independence and Unity Day (Slovene: Dan samostojnosti in enotnosti) is celebrated on December 26th. On this day in 1990, the Republic of Slovenia formally declared independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The declaration followed a referendum held earlier in the year in which the majority of Slovenian voters expressed their desire for independence.
The process of gaining independence was largely peaceful for Slovenia, and the country officially became independent on June 25, 1991. However, December 26th is recognized as the official day when the Slovenian parliament adopted the Basic Constitutional Charter on the Independence and Sovereignty of the Republic of Slovenia.
Independence and Unity Day is a national holiday in Slovenia and is marked by various events, ceremonies, and celebrations throughout the country. It is a day to commemorate Slovenia's path to sovereignty and reflect on the significance of independence and unity.
