The president of Slovenia, officially the president of the Republic of Slovenia (Slovene: Predsednik Republike Slovenije), is the head of state of the Republic of Slovenia. The position was established on 23 December 1991 when the National Assembly passed a new constitution as a result of independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
According to the constitution, the president is the highest representative of the state. In practice, the position is mostly ceremonial.[2] The president can appoint high ranking officials such as the head of the Central Bank of Slovenia, but they have to be confirmed by the parliament.[2] Among other things, the president is also the commander-in-chief of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The office of the president is the Presidential Palace in Ljubljana.
The president is directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a term of five years. Any Slovenian citizen can run for President, but can hold office for only two terms.
The president has no legally guaranteed immunity and may be impeached.
