[On this day] La guerra di dieci giorni in Slovenia iniziò – 1991.

On June 27, 1991, just two days after Slovenia declared independence, war broke out between the Slovenes and the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA), known as the Ten-Day War (Slovene: Desetdnevna vojna). The first shot in the war was fired by a JNA officer in the town of Divača at 2:30 PM. By the evening of the same day, there were already casualties and downed helicopters. By the end of the day, the JNA had managed to capture all border crossings with Italy, most crossings with Austria, and several crossings with Croatia.

The main organizers of the Slovenian defense were the then Minister of Defense Janez Janša and Minister of the Interior Igor Bavčar.

The JNA was led by Army General Veljko Kadijević, the Federal Secretary of Defense of the SFRY, and Colonel General Blagoje Adžić, the Chief of the General Staff. Although the war in Slovenia lasted only ten days, the casualties were not insignificant. More than 70 people were killed, including 18–19 Slovenes, 44–45 members of the JNA, and 12 foreign nationals. Around 182 Slovenes and approximately 146 JNA soldiers were wounded.

The war in Slovenia was the first armed conflict in Europe since the end of World War II in 1945.

Zanimivo, da so tudi zadnji bpji v II. SVV potekali ravno v sloveniji in se je potem tu tudi zacelo.
