About this plate
The 1992 founding instrument gave foreign missions a BLACK plate with YELLOW characters (5/1992, 8. člen: "osnovna barva registrskih tablic je črna, črke in številke na njej pa so rumene") and issued it for each calendar year. The modern white plate with green activity letters is already in place in 29/2004 (21. člen) and 83/2006 (17. člen) in the same words as 2011. THE 1992-2004 BLACK SERIES IS DELIBERATELY NOT AUTHORED: 8. člen lists five components, area code, country number, activity letters, vehicle mark and the year of validity, without giving a width or an order for any of them, and any pattern would be invention.
Region code notes
NO AREA CODE AND NO ARMS.
