What the source says
Referenced, awaiting primary-source reviewAdopted on 27 June 1991. The colours are considered to be pan-Slavic, but they actually come from the medieval coat of arms of [...] the duchy of Carniola. [The coat of arms shows] Mount Triglav [...] in white against a blue background, two wavy blue lines representing the Adriatic Sea and local rivers, [and] three six-pointed golden stars [...] taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Celje.
