Presentation

Below is the translation of the original document entitled Pravilnik o registraciji in oznacevanju vozil, zrakoplovov in vodnih plovil Ministarstva za obrambo (Regulations of registration and signalization of vehicles, air- and water-vessels of the Ministry of Defence). The document was published in Uradni List Republike Slovenije (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia) #67, 23 November 1995, pp. 5171-5180.

The relevant part for the flags is: Part IV. Water-vessels, Section 3. Military, naval and rank flags and commanders' pennants.

The ending of the text (p. 5177-5178) is missing in my copy, so I can't quote when this regulations were adopted and came to effect. I have noted the date 7 November 1995 as adoption date, but I do not remember based on what evidence.
