The National Council - Interconnecting Society for 25 Years
In front of you lies a monograph about the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia, which recently celebrated a quarter century of its existence. Certainly, we are first thankful for their successful work to all former presidents of the National Council, as they broke ground constituting the political system of our young state, vice presidents, and members of the National Council in all five terms. We are especially grateful to secretaries of the National Council and the specialised service who conducted their work with great professional enthusiasm and tireless optimism, all of which was necessary in the crucial period of strengthening the state-building foundations of our young democracy.
- M.Sc. Mitja Bervar, president of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia in the fifth term
