Geography

Slovenia, situated in the Balkan Peninsula, bounded on the north by Austria, on the northeast by Hungary, on the southeast and south by Croatia, and on the west by Italy and the Adriatic Sea.

Formerly a constituent republic of Yugoslavia, Slovenia proclaimed its independence in June 1991. It joined the United Nations (UN) in May 1992. The republic has an area of 20,253 sq km (7,820 sq mi). Ljubljana is the capital and largest city.


Climate

Continental climate with warm summers and cold winters (snowfalls in the Alps). Mediterranean climate on the coast.


Background:
In 1918 the Slovenes joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new nation, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though communist, distanced itself from Moscow's rule.

In 1946, Yugoslavia became a federal state consisting of six republics, one of which was Slovenia.

Dissatisfied with the exercise of power of the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991. Historical ties to Western Europe make Slovenia a candidate for future membership in the EU.

Slovenia is a small, mountainous country in central Europe that declared its independence in 1991.
