July 4th 1991, the last fallen

[Betonov]

This day was de facto the end of the battle. Slovenians (TO) held all of the border crossings and strategic assets. The Yugoslav (JNA) unit that was surrounding Brnik international airport returned to Vrhnika barracks during the night. TO kept the cease fire agreement.
In an incident near Maribor, two Slovenian police officers were ambushed in their car by (proabibly) disgruntled JNA soldiers (every army has fringe elements). One was killed, the other wounded and survived. Rober Hvalc was the last casualty of the war.


Coulnd't find a pictire of Robert Hvalc, only a commemorative plaque of the three Maribor citizens that were killed during the war.
quote: ''Josef Simcik, was the first casualty of the war in 1991, during the Pekri incident when Slovenia was liberating itself. Robert Hvalc, Boris Adam, died a violent death during the JNA agression over Slovenia''


The baricades, that became famous trough the war, were quickly removed and important routes were once again unhindered.
JNA began their movement back to the barracks, to the conscripts relief.

The war was still not over yet. JNA might still mobilise and come in full force. It was a defeat the generals coulnd's swallow. Still, it was up to the politicians to decide

The next entry will be on the 7th. Nothing actually happened these few days. Only peace talks in Zagreb

Maybe the only time in history that was actually a good thing

The exception to proof the rule.
