The 30th anniversary of the first public formation of MORiS, a special-forces unit of what was then Territorial Defence was celebrated to mark an event that is seen as the beginning of the Slovenian Armed Forces.
The prime minister at the time, Lojze Peterle, said that was “the day when it started smelling of Slovenian armed forces”. President Borut Pahor said the formation was important because it happened only a week before the independence referendum to let the citizens know that “we will fight and win”.
