First official hoisting of the flag
On 25 June 1991 the flag was hoisted officially and for the first time on the Republic Square in front of the Slovenian parliament in Ljubljana. At the same time the old flag with the red star was lowered in front of the parliament building. Since there was not enough new flags, a lot of plain Slovenian tricolours without coat of arms were hoisted together with the new flag. The flag was officially readopted in 1994 because of the new constitution and flag law.
Uros Zizmund, 1 April 1998
