The amended Slovenian Civil Procedure Act ("ZPP-E") will enter into force on 14 September 2017 and will govern all proceedings initiated after this date.

Enforcement of criminal law and initiation of the criminal procedure in Slovenia depends on the type of criminal offence and is regulated in the Criminal Code (Kazenski zakonik, KZ-1) for each specific offence separately and in the Criminal Procedure Act (Zakon o kazenskem postopku, ZKP), which regulates the criminal prosecution.
