Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, celebrates New Year's Eve with parties and concerts. While the main square is the center of activities, festivities can be enjoyed in other areas of the city, too.
A nation boasting more than a 1000-year long history, a pioneer in many fields with groundbreaking achievements often attributed to others, the Slovenians still have to work on the issues big nations take for granted.
Officially, Slovenia is subdivided into 211 municipalities (eleven of which have the status of urban municipalities).
The municipalities are the only body of local autonomy in Slovenia.
