Slovenia was one of the six republics of the Socialist Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia.
After a national referendum the Republic of Slovenia declared its independance
on June 25, 1991. On March 1, 2004 Slovenia became part of the European
Union.
Ljubljana, the capital of the new state, is the heart of the political,
economic, cultural and scientific life in Slovenia.
The city center looks gorgeous, with the special architecture by Jozef
Plecnik, among many other highlights.
Last but not least Sovenia is also well-known for its Lipica Stud Farm,
the most important horse-breeding center for the Lippizaners.
