FLAG COMPARISON
Slovenia vs Slovakia: Flag Differences
Both are white, blue and red horizontal tricolours with a shield near the upper hoist. Compare the emblems.
Three points that tell them apart
- 01
Slovenia's shield shows a mountain, wavy lines and three stars.
- 02
Slovakia's shield shows a double cross above three hills.
- 03
The emblems occupy similar positions, but their designs differ.
Why they look similar
Both use a white-blue-red horizontal tricolour and a shield near the hoist, so they can look alike at small sizes. The mountain and stars versus the double cross are decisive.
Adoption and legal background
Slovenia formalised its current flag in June 1991. After Slovak independence, the 1993 state-symbols law defined the present flag and its use.
Remember it in one line
Mountains and stars mean Slovenia; a double cross means Slovakia.
