On this day 35 years ago, the armed aggression against Slovenia ended.

The article commemorates the end of armed aggression against Slovenia 35 years ago, marking the conclusion of the Slovenian independence war. It recounts key events from May 23, 1991, including the military police's encirclement of the Territorial Defense (TO) center in Pekarje and the arrest of TO commander Vladimir Milošević. The first civilian casualty, Josef Šimčik, was killed during protests. The conflict escalated on June 26 with Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) bombing airports and roads, leading to formal warfare starting June 27. Throughout the ten-day conflict, TO units blocked JNA columns, set up barricades, and engaged in direct combat while attempting to isolate the army from support.
