{{Politics of Slovenia}}

The '''Slovenian Parliament''' ({{lang-sl|Slovenski parlament}}) is the informal designation of the general [[representative democracy|representative]] body of the [[Slovenia]]n nation and the [[legislature|legislative body]] of the Republic of Slovenia.

According to the [[Constitution of Slovenia]], the general representative body of the Slovenian nation is the [[National Assembly (Slovenia)|National Assembly]]. The general public in Slovenia often refer to the National Assembly alone as the Slovenian Parliament.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.rtvslo.si/slovenija/drzavni-svet-pogosto-jabolko-spora/96108 |title=Državni svet: pogosto jabolko spora |trans-title=National Council: A Frequent Apple of Discord |access-date=16 December 2010 |language=sl |publisher=MMC RTV Slovenija}}</ref> However, the [[National Council (Slovenia)|National Council]], the representative body of basic social groups, also performs a further, if minor, part of the legislative function.<ref name="Celje">{{cite book |url=http://www.knjiznica-celje.si/raziskovalne/4200607533.pdf |title=Državni svet - del slovenskega parlamenta? |trans-title=National Council - a Part of Slovenian Parliament? |language=sl, en|year=2006 |first=Božidar |last=Veljković |author2=Melita Stiplošek |author3=Natalija Ulaga |author4=Monika Koražija |access-date=16 December 2010}}</ref>

The opinions of experts and of the general Slovenian public on whether the Slovenian Parliament is [[bicameral]] or [[unicameral]] differ, although most consider it to be incompletely bicameral.<ref name="Lakota">{{cite book |url=http://dk.fdv.uni-lj.si/dela/Lakota-Igor.PDF |title=Sistem nepopolne dvodomnosti v slovenskem parlamentu (diplomska naloga) |trans-title=The system of incomplete bicameralism in the Slovenian Parliament (diploma thesis) |page=62 |first=Igor |last=Lakota |year=2006 |access-date=16 December 2010 |publisher=Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana |language=sl}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union|year=2004|publisher=World Bank Publications|isbn=9780821357187|pages=[https://archive.org/details/sloveniafromyugo0000mrak/page/56 56]–57|url=https://archive.org/details/sloveniafromyugo0000mrak|url-access=registration|quote=slovenia incomplete bicameral.|author=Mojmir Mrak|author2=Matija Rojec |author3=Carlos Silva-Jáuregui |author4=World Bank |access-date=16 December 2010|chapter=The Legislative Branch}}</ref> In 2008, the [[Constitutional Court of Slovenia]] recognized the Slovenian Parliament as incompletely bicameral.<ref name="US2008">{{cite news |url=http://odlocitve.us-rs.si/usrs/us-odl.nsf/o/91B69BBC50349012C12574F2004123EB |title=U-I-295/07-8 |access-date=16 December 2010 |language=sl |publisher=Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia |quote=S tega vidika lahko govorimo o nepopolni dvodomnosti slovenskega parlamenta, kajti po ustavnopravni teoriji se šteje za dvodomno vsaka ureditev, v kateri delujeta na področju zakonodajne funkcije dva organa, ne glede na to, kakšno razmerje je med njima.}}</ref>

==Seat==
{{main|National Assembly Building of the Republic of Slovenia}}
The National Assembly and the National Council convene in a [[modernist]] palace known as the "Slovenian Parliament" and sited in [[Republic Square, Ljubljana|Republic Square]], [[Ljubljana]]. It was built between 1954 and 1959 by the architect {{interlanguage link|Vinko Glanz|sl}}. An unrealized project for a Slovenian Parliament building, designed by the architect [[Jože Plečnik]] in the late 1940s, features on the [[Slovenian euro coins]].
