Slovenia began to participate in the Miss World pageant from the year 1992, when Miss World Slovenia 1992 Nataša Abram represented her nation at Miss World 1992. The nation has been placed in many special awards in the pageant, but Slovenia is yet to win the coveted crown, so we wish Lara all the very best for her delegacy.
