Country Details
Slovenia is one of the youngest European countries, becoming an independent state in 1991, after the collapse of the Yugoslav federation.
Soon after it became the 176th member of the United Nations and an associate member of the European Union.
Today, agricultural industries are a significant economic factor, and its large freight port in Koper (on the Adriatic Sea) is an important gateway into Central Europe.
The tragic civil war with Serbia seriously affected its thriving tourism industry, and yet, signs of recovery are on the horizon.
The Slovenia maps and information pages are currently being revised, but will be posted soon.
