 Slovenia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Slovenia was unique in south-central Europe as an area which retained a substantial fraction of its pre-Twilight population and industry, including the Krsko nuclear power plant in southeastern Slovenia; as such, it was the proverbial one-eyed man in the Kingdom of the Blind.
Slovenia's population began to shift during this period, from the interior to the west, towards the growing city of Trieste, and also to the north into the Carinthian segment of the Drava.
Slovenia was admirably well-placed to take advantage of this reconstruction, with the renewed importance of its port of Trieste, its own not-inconsiderable domestic technology, and its almost-captive market in the Austrian states of Austrovenia.

 Guardian | Military alert as Slovenia goes it alone
The Yugoslav federal parliament last night urged the army to act to hold the country together as the western republic of Slovenia split from Yugoslavia and neighbouring Croatia declared itself a sovereign and independent state.
Croatia and Slovenia have vowed they will fiercely resist any strongarm action by the army to hold Yugoslavia together and most observers believe that a military clampdown would hasten the break-up of the country.
Slovenia is backing up its declaration by withdrawing its representatives from federal institutions, including the federal parliament, putting eight border posts into operation today, and taking down signs at the border that proclaim entry to Yugoslavia.

Slovenia also cooperates in the Multinational Light Land Force with Italy and Hungary in an effort to enhance military interoperability, and in a joint effort to cooperate militarily in the harsh terrain in the region.
Slovenia’s military victory should not be exaggerated: Slobodan Milosevic was not wholly committed to a military operation to prevent Slovenia’s independence, and the JNA suffered from low motivation after the initial strikes from the Slovenes.

 UNFICYP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
In examining the possibilities for its contribution to United Nations peacekeeping, Slovenia was confronted with a constraint typical for a country of its size: relatively limited human and financial resources.
In September 1997, Slovenia therefore deployed a contingent of ten men with the United Nations Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), as part of the multinational battalion consisting of Austrian, Hungarian and Slovenian troops.
The experience of Slovenia in UNFICYP shows that multinational military units are not only a useful way for smaller Member States to contribute effectively to the UN peacekeeping, but are a United Nations in miniature, since they comprise troops from various nations.
