On 25 June, Slovenia to celebrate Statehood Day, start of EU presidency
Ljubljana – The celebrations of the 30 years of Slovenia’s sovereignty and independence will culminate with the main national ceremony on Statehood Day on Friday, 25 June, in memory of the day in 1991 when the Slovenian parliament passed several key documents for the country to leave the former Yugoslavia and become fully independent.
Slovenia'a Constitution written fast, but fairly durable
The foundations for the new Constitution were laid already in 1998, with what is termed the writers' constitution, a document drawn up under the leadership of the Slovenian Writers' Association.
The initiative was picked up by the DEMOS coalition of parties, which presented in March 1990 its own version which drew strongly on the writers' document.
