Displaying the flag of the Republic of Slovenia on holiday

The Act Regulating the Coat-of-Arms, Flag and Anthem of the Republic of Slovenia and the Flag of the Slovenian Nation lays down that the flag of the Republic of Slovenia is to be displayed during national holidays in the Republic of Slovenia:

• on 8 February, Prešeren Day, the Slovenian Cultural Holiday,
• 27 April, Day of Uprising Against the Occupation,
• 1 and 2 May, Labour Day,
• 25 June, Statehood Day, and
• 26 December, Independence Day.

The flag is to be displayed on buildings that are the official premises of state authorities and local community authorities, and may also be displayed on other public buildings, residential buildings and other appropriate locations.  The flag is to be displayed for the duration of the holiday. In addition to the flag of the Republic of Slovenia, the flag of the Slovenian nation may also be displayed.  In the geographic areas where the Italian or Hungarian national communities reside, the national community flag is also displayed. 

After the adoption of the Act Regulating the Coat-of-Arms, Flag and Anthem of the Republic of Slovenia and the Flag of the Slovenian Nation in 1994, the following national holidays were declared:

• 8 June: Primož Trubar Day,
• 17 August: Unification of Prekmurje Slovenes with the Mother Nation,
• 15 September: Return of Primorska to the Motherland,
• 25 October: Sovereignty Day,
• 23 November: Rudolf Maister Day.

The rules of displaying the flag of the Republic of Slovenia on these holidays laid down by the Act Regulating the Coat-of-Arms, Flag and Anthem of the Republic of Slovenia and the Flag of the Slovenian Nation shall apply mutatis mutandis, which means that the flag may be displayed.
