The version without the neck ribbon is the first version of the badge. Častni vojni znak teritorialne obrambe,

(Military honor badge of the territorial defense). Those were awarded 26. October 1991. in Koper.

The one with the neck ribbon is the current version. 

Territorial defense was a sort of paramilitary militia that was part of the armed forces of each of the republics in Yugoslavia, that was not under direct control of the yugoslav government, but under control of the government of the republics.

It was a predecessor to the slovenian army.
