Official sourceArticle 3a
"Pursuant to a treaty ratified by the National Assembly by a two-thirds majority vote of
all deputies, Slovenia may transfer the exercise of part of its sovereign rights to
51
international organisations which are based on respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms, democracy and the principles of the rule of law and may
enter into a defensive alliance with states which are based on respect for these
values.
Before ratifying a treaty referred to in the preceding paragraph, the National
Assembly may call a referendum. A proposal shall pass at the referendum if a
majority of voters who have cast valid votes vote in favour of such. The National
Assembly is bound by the result of such referendum. If such referendum has been
held, a referendum regarding the law on the ratification of the treaty concerned may
not be called.
Legal acts and decisions adopted within international organisations to which Slovenia
has transferred the exercise of part of its sovereign rights shall be applied in Slovenia
in accordance with the legal regulation of these organisations.
In procedures for the adoption of legal acts and decisions in international
organisations to which Slovenia has transferred the exercise of part of its sovereign
rights, the Government shall promptly inform the National Assembly of proposals for
such acts and decisions as well as of its own activities. The National Assembly may
adopt positions thereon, which the Government shall take into consideration in its
activities. The relationship between the National Assembly and the Government
arising from this paragraph shall be regulated in detail by a law adopted by a two-
thirds majority vote of deputies present."
