About this plate
This is the plate that the enthusiast web describes as having a BLUE border which was reverted to green in 2008. The instrument says black: "bele barve, obrobljene s črno črto". Blue is the POLICE border in the same instrument (20. člen, "obrobljena z modro črto"), which is the most likely origin of the confusion. The green edge of 1992-2004 was therefore replaced by black for roughly four years and then restored, green, black, green, and the 2004-2008 black-edged plate is the odd one out in thirty-four years of Slovenian plates.
