ONCE UPON an ERASURE RESIDENTS INTHEREPUBLIC ONCE UPON an ERASURE from CITIZENSTO ILLEGAL Uršula Lipovecčebron Editors: Jelkazornand of SLOVENIA TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA Date: 4/6-1992 SUBJECT: OPEN QUESTIONS ON THE EXECUTION OF THE ALIENS ACT Through Article 40 of the Citizenship of the Republic of Slovenia Act, the right of citizens of other republics of the former SFRY to citizenship in the Republic of Slovenia with lenient conditions has been exhausted. In direct relation to this Act, the Aliens Act, in its preliminary determination, allowed these persons the opportunity to arrange their status on the basis of their own free will. Therefore, after 25/2-1992 provisions of the Aliens Act took effect for most persons who had not requested citizenship of the Republic of Slovenia. For persons who had received a negative decision regarding their application for Slovene citizenship, the provisions of this Act begin taking effect two months after negative decision has been issued. According to our estimates, there are 40,000 persons who, by force of law or on the basis of a negative decision regarding citizenship, became foreigners and are arranging their residence status in the Republic of Slovenia. To date, the practice of receiving applications for permanent and temporary residence has shown that most applications draw on existential reasons, which are said to justify the reason for residence in the Republic of Slovenia (long-term residence in the Republic of Slovenia, employment, marriage to a citizen of the Republic of Slovenia, real estate holdings, etc.). The justification of reasons for residence is also linked to acquired rights[underlined by editors], which may cancel out eligibility conditions (a person does not have the means to sustain his/her existence, or his/her survival in the state is in no way guaranteed – unemployment, justification through real estate holdings without justifiable reasons – falsity). Delays in the adoption of an Employment of Aliens Act and Social Security Act also present a unique problem. Attempts are being made to compensate ONCE UPON AN ERASURE for this legal void with the provisions of the Aliens Act, which was not its original purpose. As of 1/6-1992, the Ministry of the Interior has received 800 applications for permanent residence. Administrative decisions on temporary residence fall under the jurisdiction of municipal administrative ONCE UPON bodies for the interior. The problem of temporary residence permits is growing ever larger, as the fact that the Ljubljana Ministry of the Interior alone has issued over 5,000 temporary residence AN ERASURE permits as of 1/6-1992 shows. Deciding on applications for permanent residence presents a special problem, because two legal positions have emerged. The first respects the notion of “acquired rights”, FROM CITIZENS TO ILLEGAL by which the case of a negative decision would constitute one-sided revocation of rights which these persons had already acquired prior to 23/12-1990 or 25/6-1991. According to this interpretation, all RESIDENTS IN THE REPUBLIC persons who, by the previous stipulations, had a registered permanent residence in Slovenia would OF SLOVENIA retain permanent residence regardless of the change in status. The second position derives from an interpretation of the law which grants the possibility of acquiring a permanent residence permit only after 3 years of legal temporary residence. This means that these persons, aside from exceptions Editors: Jelka Zorn and under Articles 16 and 17 (foreigners of Slovene descent and children or spouses who already have legal Uršula Lipovec Čebron permanent residence), would not be granted permanent residence prior to this date. In light of the intent of the Employment of Aliens Bill and the Social Security Bill, this dilemma is of key importance, as it is a matter of deciding upon existential rights which the state must guarantee. In these questions, the matter of whom to grant permanent residence remains open, in particular because an acquired permit is difficult to revoke (problematic persons, such as criminals, violators of public peace and order, and certain persons who were employed in the Yugoslav Army). It is therefore a matter of persons who, according to Articles 13 and 19, in many cases do not even meet the requirements for obtaining a permit for temporary or permanent residence, and who, in their applications, link justifiable reasons to the fact that their spouses and children reside in the Republic of Slovenia. Owing to long-term residence in our country, they have lost contact with their home countries, and an existential bond with Slovenia also derives from this. Because of the complexity of the problem, which has both a political connotation and financial consequences, we suggest that the Government of the Republic of Slovenia familiarize itself with this problem and take its stance towards the positions listed above. The Ministry of the Interior believes that in the independence phase of the Republic of Slovenia, all rights of citizens of republics of the former Yugoslavia, which are derived from international conventions and interstate agreements, were respected. The independence legislation (in particular Article 40 of the Citizenship Act and Article 81 of the Aliens Act) granted these persons free choice on their status to the greatest possible extent. This is why we feel that, in further proceedings, acquired rights must not be of account [underlined by editors], as they were consciously forfeited, and that for this reason the determinations of the Aliens Act must be thoroughly followed.

  • Dimitar Mockup Foldout
    DIMITAR ANAKIEV AT THE TOMBSTONE KRAJ NADGROBNIKA DIMITAR ANAKIEV AT THE TOMBSTONE KRAJ NADGROBNIKA HAIKU ILLUSTRATIONS BY DRAGAN PERIC´ RED MOON PRESS 2002 FOREWORD The 23 poems collected in At the Tombstone were writ- ten in the summer and autumn of 2001 in the village of Groznatovci which is located in the foothills near Mount Gromada (local name Vrtop) on the border between Serbia and Bulgaria. I spent my idyllic youth in this natural wilderness where my father was born and ultimately buried. This collection is dedicated to him, as well as to the Balkan tradition which is still alive and well. The pagan and animistic spirit of these people, living outside the ken of modern civilization and deeply connected to their mythology and to nature, interwoven with the spiritu- ality they find in the Orthodox Church, and mixed with the remnants of Turkish customs left behind from the times of the Ottoman occupation, were strong and continual stimuli to me. The classical haiku form of 5-7-5 syllables seemed to me nec- essary to express such complex feelings, both epic and lyric, as well as providing the structure wherein I could make us of local topics, both seasonal and non-seasonal. I began my investigation of the Balkan’s cultural top- ics for potential application in poetry in 1995, supported through the work and personal help of Hiroshi Yamasaki Vukelic and Srba Mitrovic, and have continued it through col- laboration´ with Ban’ya Natsuishi.´ It pleases me to be able to share some Balkan topics here with an English readership, and for this I must thank Jim Kacian for his willingness to follow the poetic and cultural ethos specific to these Balkan poems in his excellent English translations.

  • Political Developments in Slovenia in 2017 Helena Motoh
    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 2 No. 1 (SI) December 2017 Slovenia Political briefing: Political developments in Slovenia in 2017 Helena Motoh 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu Briefing on the most important political developments in Slovenia in 2017 In 2017 Slovenian political sphere was marked by several important events and developments. Domestic politics was mostly marked by the fact that 2017 was the year of presidential elections and a year leading to the scheduled 2018 parliamentary elections. Within both frameworks there was a lot of new development within and between political parties. There were also events outside the domestic politics, in economy and investment that greatly influenced the dynamics on the political stage, such as the heated debate on the Magna company project in Hoče and the referendum about the law on the second railway track Divača-Koper. Generally speaking, the political dynamics could be seen on two different levels: (1) between the existing political parties and within them, and (2) outside the sphere of parliamentary parties, where other factions and groups are organizing before the 2018 elections. 1) Dynamics within and between the existing political parties Domestic politics in 2017 was marked by structural dynamics within the leading political party, between the government parties and between the government and the opposition.

The government will help struggling businesses, but "nobody should expect we will throw money into a bottomless bag. Slovenia must also be open to foreign investment. On the other hand, it is important that key financial institutions such as the bank NLB and insurer Zavarovalnica Triglav remain in domestic ownership. The state would tighten its belt, but not in technology spending. Incentives would be made available for companies hiring new workers. Workers who are laid off will be retrained for better-paid jobs. This is no time for passive social policy, we need to think about how to create more.
