I think it's a Gagea too.... but which one?  It looks very small... where is it from?

It is from west of Slovakia (specific area of Nitra). In this area know about Gagea lutea. But this is not her.
And yes it is too small plant,and her bulb also.

Maybe G. minima? The leaves are similar. But the flower is different.  ???

Hard to see from the picture if  how many leaves and if there are multi-flowered stems .
I thought  G. minima would have more pointed petals?

Does this help ?

Yes you're right. It seems to G. bohemica. Flower and Leaves agree.
