Abstract

Slovenia is a relatively well-developed country with regard to direct-democratic instruments and their legal review. A reasonable number of legal limits are imposed on direct democracy in Slovenia. Slovene legal doctrine distinguishes between formal and substantive legal limits of direct democracy. Substantive limits may be explicit or implicit. Explicit limits are provided in legislation, whereas implicit limits derive from the principle of constitutional democracy. Explicit substantive legal limits exist only for referendum decision-making, while implicit limits are inherent to all instruments of direct democracy. Formal legal limits as to unity of substance and unity of form are not provided in Slovenia; however, certain formal requirements are in place for each instrument of direct democracy.
