The Greens of Slovenia (Slovenian: Zeleni Slovenije, ZS) is a political party in Slovenia.

History

The Greens of Slovenia was formed on 11 June 1989 in the course of the Revolutions of 1989, when Slovenia was still part of Yugoslavia. At the first direct election in Slovenia, the Greens gained 8.8% of the votes cast and won 8 seats in the National Assembly legislature. At the 1992 parliamentary election the party gained 3.7% of the votes cast, losing 3 mandates in the assembly. Since 1996, it has fallen beneath the electoral threshold, and thus is no longer represented in parliament.

At the parliamentary election in September 2008, the party won no seats. At the early 2011 Slovenian parliamentary election on 4 December 2011, the party won 0.36% of the vote, thus not gaining any seat in the National Assembly.[3] The party received 0.50% of the vote in the Slovenian parliamentary election on 13 July 2014, and again did not win any seats in parliament.[4]

In March 2018 Andrej Čuš took over the leadership and renamed the party Andrej Čuš and Greens of Slovenia (Slovenian: Andrej Čuš in Zeleni Slovenije).[5]

Europe Elects stated in April 2021 that the party displays the logo of the European Green Party (EGP) on their website; however, the EGP contacted Europe Elects and denied any affiliation.[6]
