An analysis of the emergence, development and structural incorporation into the affairs of the state and its diplomacy for the Slovenian national anthem Zdravljica, as well as two unofficial anthems, Hej, brigade (Ljubljana) and Vstajenje Primorske (the Primorska Region), reveals that a song can only become an important source or means of statecraft if it is accepted by social groups, and its "statecraftness" must develop following the bottom-up principle.
