FLAG 國旗

The seal on the flag has two important symbols: the mountain is a depiction of Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain, while the three six pointed stars are taken from the Counts of Celje's coat of arms, a powerful Slovene dynastic house during the 14th to 15th centuries.

旗面上的國徽具兩個重要象徵意義︰山脈是描繪斯洛維尼亞境內最高山脈特里格拉夫山;三顆六角星則取自於采列王朝國徽。采列王朝為斯洛維尼亞十四到十五世紀的強盛時期。
