Slovenia
Administrative Division
Slovenia is situated in Central (or South-eastern) Europe and borders to Italy in the west, Austria in the north, Hungary in the northeast and Croatia in the east and the south.
While the constitution defines two political-administrative levels - municipality and regional levels - only the former exists in practice. In 1994, the structure of 66 communes was abolished in favour of 147 municipalities. In 1998, the number of municipalities increased to 192 and in 2002 one more municipality was added. For electoral purposes, Slovenia is divided into 8 electoral units, further subdivided into 88 electoral districts (11 districts in each unit).
