Drawing on post-war literature, the article at hand conveys the most significant events that took place in Ljutomer and the surrounding area during Slovenia’s War of Independence in 1991. It presents the period of direct preparations to declare Slovenia’s independence as well as preparations for an armed defence thereof by the territorial defence and militsiya. The article also describes the most important events in the territory of the Ljutomer municipality, where direct skirmishes took place with the Yugoslav People’s Army as well fighting in the territory of the territorial area command of Ljutomer. Successful performance of the territorial defence and militsiya importantly contributed to the defence of the independent Slovenia and thus to closing the last chapter of the war history of this area.
