Slovenia vs Slovakia flag
How to tell them apart
The flags of Slovenia and Slovakia are both horizontal tricolours of white, blue and red, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:
- Slovakia's shield is red with a white double cross and covers all three bands.
- Slovenia's smaller shield is blue with a white mountain and three gold stars, and sits higher, across the white and blue bands.
- Slovenia's flag is longer: 1:2, against Slovakia's 2:3.
