✅ Slovenian Calendar — One-Page
Overview
The Slovenian Calendar follows the Gregorian
calendar and includes a balanced mix of public holidays, cultural
celebrations, religious observances, and national historic days. Slovenia
observes both state holidays (državni prazniki) and work-free
holidays (prazniki, dela prosti dnevi), with some holidays tied to
Christian traditions and others commemorating important national milestones.
