Background
The Slovene lands were part of the Holy Roman Empire and Austria until 1918 when the Slovenes joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new multinational state, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though Communist, distanced itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power by the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991 after a short 10-day war. Historical ties to Western Europe, a strong economy, and a stable democracy have assisted in Slovenia's transformation to a modern state. Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the EU in the spring of 2004.

    Zahovic, Zlatko
    Olympiakos & Slovenia


    Birthdate: February 1, 1971
    ]Birthplace: Maribor, Slovenia
    Height: 180 cms
    Weight: 76 kgs
    Position: Midfielder / Forward
    Games & Goals with National Team: 45 caps, 21 goals (as of June 1, 2000)
    International Debut: November 18, 1992 vs. Cyprus (D 1:1)

    The undoubted star of the Slovenian national team, Zahovic is an outstanding playmaker, who has achieved big things for club and country. A classic ‘Number 10’, he makes Slovenia tick with his precise passing, telling runs and, above all, goals. He won three successive league titles with FC Porto, and has been a regular scorer at UEFA Champions League level. Despite a two-month self-imposed exile, Zahovic has been such a hit in Greece that Olympiakos Piraeus FC have won every game in which he has played. Slovenian hopes of an enjoyable debut depend more than anything on the displays of Zahovic.
