Short introduction

Most of the provisions of the Directive were transposed by the ZTuj. This is the only statute that was explicitly enacted with the aim of transposing Directive 2004/38/EC. ZTuj is a general act regulating aliens and their rights and obligations. Thus, EU nationals and their rights are only a small part of the law - the most important section of ZTuj for Union citizens is Chapter XII, which contains articles 93.a to 93.ac).

On the basis of ZTuj, two implementing rules were issued by the Minister of Internal Affairs regulating some aspects of the Directive: Prav2 (Rules on the content, form, issuing and termination of certificates and permits on the residence of the EU citizens, their family members, and family members of Slovenian citizens) regulates the content, form, issuing and termination of certificates and permits on the residence, and Navod ( Instructions concerning the refusal of entry to the Republic of Slovenia of EU citizens) regulates the refusal of entry of EU citizens to Slovenia.

Some substantive aspects of the transposition of the Directive 2004/38 are covered by other legislation. ZZDT (The Law on the Employment and Work of Foreign Citizens) enables equal rights of EU nationals at workplace. The same is true to Prav1( Rules on the method of determining the right to free access to the labour market with regard to nationals of the EU and the EEA and their family members) which regulates free access to the labour market with regard to nationals of the EU and the EEA and their family members.

The majority of the procedural provisions of the Directive were not specifically transposed by the Ztuj. The Ztuj refers to the existing framework laws that regulate the administrative and judicial procedures. ZUP ( The Administrative Procedure Act) and ZUS-1(The Administrative Disputes Act) regulate the administrative procedure and judicial review of administrative decisions in general; all decisions, issued by state and local administrations have to adhere to these two laws. The ZK (Criminal Code) prescribes the crimes and their sanctions. ZP-1 (The Minor Offences Act) is a statute that regulates the misdemeanours.

Milieu Ltd SLOVENIA 4/68 Europa Institute, Edinburgh University Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member-States

There are a few provisions of ZTuj apart from those in Ch. XII.a that transpose the Directive: Arts. 12, 47 and 63.

ZTuj also applies to family members of Slovenian nationals – be it that they are Union citizens of aliens from other countries. This effectively means that the spouses and other family members of Slovenian citizens have the same rights that the Union citizens or their family members. This will avoid reverse discrimination and will also help to cover family members of a returning Slovenian national.

Notice that the law here does not refer to family members accompanying or joining the Union citizen. It talks about that in other relevant provisions (i.e. 93.k(3), although in other terms (family reunifications, joining the family etc.). See below.

Slovenian authorities do not demand lawful prior residence with the EU citizen in another MS before arriving to Slovenia. Family members derive their right to enter and stay in Slovenia from the fact that they are family members – it is not important if they arrived to Milieu Ltd SLOVENIA 5/68 Europa Institute, Edinburgh University Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member-States

In effect this means that although it is more liberal towards its own citizens than the majority of EU member states, Slovenia: - does not recognise registered partners as family members (see comment to Art 2.2.) - and at the same time does not grant a benefit of the doubt to alien durable- relationship partners. As a consequence it does not facilitate entry and residence. The host Member State shall NT The provision is not transposed. undertake an extensive examination of the personal circumstances and shall justify any denial of entry or residence to these people.

In any case, notice that Slovenia became a Schengen country on 21 December 2007 and therefore the legislation applicable is the Schengen regulations, inter alia Regulation 539/2001 and Regulation 562/2006 and therefore no visa can be imposed and residence cards will be enough to enter the country.
