Slovenia has held commemorative events marking the anniversaries of the annexation of different regions to the nation.

In August, celebrations were held in Velika Polana and Črenšovci to mark the unification of Prekmurje Slovanians with their mother nation. Officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Jernej Vrtovec and Prime Minister Janez Janša, attended the program. Prime Minister Janša described the event as a “victory of national consciousness over political pressure and uncertainty.”

In September, President Nataša Pirc Musar led a ceremony in Lipica to mark the 79th anniversary of the annexation of Primorska. The event commemorated the 1947 borders established by the Paris Peace Treaty. During her address, President Musar highlighted historical “de-nationalization policies” that targeted Slovenian language and culture, while honoring the legacy of poet Srečko Kosovel.
