There are two kinds of public holidays in Slovenia – state holidays and work-free days. State holidays are those celebrated by the state. These include official functions and flying the national flag. The latter are actually Christian religious holidays, which are equivalent to any Sunday: companies and schools are closed, but there is no official celebration.
9 of 14 state holiday days are work-free, and there are additional 6 work-free days in Slovenia. Two of them always fall on Sunday, thus, there are effectively at most 13 work-free days in Slovenia.
State holidays that are work-free are shown in pale green, while work-free days that are not state holidays (coinciding with Christian religious holidays) are shown in blue.
