Today is Sovereignty Day in Slovenia. It commemorates one of the key events in the process of attaining independence, namely withdrawal of the last Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) soldier from the territory of present-day Slovenia.
The Ten-Day War, a civil war, started in the former Yugoslavia on 27 June 1991 between the Yugoslav army and the Slovenian Territorial Defence, ending on 7 July with Slovenia’s decisive victory and Slovenia becoming independent. In the Brioni Agreement signed by both parties, Slovenia agreed to postpone its independence by three months and the Yugoslav military was allowed to leave Slovenian territory in stages, with a deadline of the end of October. The last Yugoslav army soldier left around midnight of 25 October 1991, the day now declared as “Sovereignty Day”.

Today is the birthday, in 1838, of George Bizet, French composer of the Romantic Era. Best known for his operas, he had little success until his final work, Carmen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_HHRJf0xg
