Abstract

The set of questions about Slovenian identity and history examined the extent to which Slovenian residents feel as a members of their nation, state, country, region, Europe, family, profession, organization, and political belief. They were also asked which the most important figure is in Slovenian history and how important they consider particular historical events. There was also explored what should be the characteristics of a typical Slovenian – are Slovenes hardworking, honest, jealous, tolerant, innovative, closed, determined, competitive, brave, solidary? It has also shown to what changes have come compared to the last year. Among the current issues it was examined whether the Prime Minister in terms of public opinion acted properly or hypocritical when, despite a prompt by the Court of Audit, he didn't change minister Križanič. It was also examined whether according to respondents' opinion we need radical change of the Constitution and legislation of Slovenia, only minor adjustments or we should keep the Constitution such as it is. The survey also checked what might be the participation in the referendum on the mini jobs act and what would be the fate of this Act. As always, the relationship between political parties and (un)supporting current government was examined.
