As the most prosperous republic of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia emerged from its brief 10-day war of secession in 1991 as an independent nation for the first time in its history. Since that time, the country has made steady but cautious progress toward developing a market economy. | A European Union member since May 1, 2004 and a eurozone member since January 1, 2007, Slovenia has a strong mix of qualities to recommend it as an investment location. With excellent infrastructure, a major port on the Adriatic Sea and a highly educated work force, Slovenia can be an attractive place for the investor to access the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe. | Slovenia exports were worth 1668.2 Million EUR in June of 2010. Slovenia's economy is highly dependent on foreign trade. Trade equals about 120 % of GDP (exports and imports combined). | There are two kinds of Free Trade Zones in Slovenia: Free Economic Zones and Free Customs Zones. | ||||||
