Prešeren, Polona 285088512 3 INTRODUCTION You simply have to love Slovenia, as it is the only country in the world with the word “love” in its name. This play on words denotes Slovenia in all its essence – a successful, creative, diverse and responsible country, despite the fact that it is one of the youngest countries on earth in terms of years of existence. In 1991, it declared its autonomy and independence and demonstrated that even young and small countries can become global players. It is hard to miss Slovenia in Europe with its strategic position in Central Europe – at the junction of the Alps, the Mediterranean, the mysterious Karst and the wide Pannonian plains. Within an area of 20,000 km2, we can admire its exceptional geographical diversity with rich natural and cultural traditions. It is precisely this mark of its position and natural conditions that have importantly denoted the character of Slovenians, while the turbulence of historically important transport routes has added vitality and inspired their creativity. You really have to love Slovenia. The feeling of affection for and belonging to Slovenia is indelible.

The National Assembly conducts its proceedings in Slovene. The two deputies represent- ing the Italian and Hungarian national communities have the right to speak, table mo tions, initiatives and questions and make other submissions in Italian or Hungarian, re spectively. Such matters are then translated into Slovene. The work of the National Assembly is open to the public unless otherwise determined by its Rules of Procedure.
