===Slovenia===
Slovenia has only one level of local self-government established: municipalities. The [https://www.us-rs.si/legal-basis/constitution/?lang=en Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia] provides also basis for establishing second level, regions, but they haven't been established yet (Article 143).
There are two types of municipalities in Slovenia:
*urban municipalities (Art. 141 of the Constitution)
*(rural) municipalities (Art. 139 of the Constitution)
Slovenia signed (1994) and ratified (1996) European Charter of Local Self-Government without any reservations. The Charter is in force since March 1, 1997. The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities (Council of Europe) performed three [https://www.coe.int/en/web/congress/congress-reports#{%2254213415%22:%5B40%5D} monitorings] (2001, 2011, and 2018).
