Slovenia was part of the ex-Yugoslavia till 25 June 1991 when it obtained the independence. It has a mountainous relief in the western and northern parts, while the eastern part is formed by a calcareous platform which because of the rain, gave birth to one of the most beautiful caves in Europe like Postojna cave, almost 20 km in length.
