Proposed flags

[edit]
Flag Date Use Description
1990 Flag proposal in 1990 before independence by the Party of Democratic Reform. A horizontal tricolor of white, blue, and red; charged with a yellow star at the middle.

In 2003, a campaign was started[by whom?] to partially or completely alter the flag in order to enhance Slovenia's international recognition, and especially to differentiate it from those of Russia and Slovakia. An eleven-striped design won the official contest.[32] However, public opinion seems[by whom?] to be strongly against changing the flag at the moment.[when?]
