of Yugoslavia and established itself as the administrative,
cultural, scientific and political centre of Slovenia. The city
expanded rapidly, both in area and population, and new
parishes were established. In 1935, due to intensive construction
activity, some of the surrounding villages were officially
incorporated into the single administrative area of
the Municipality of Ljubljana. Slovenian self-confidence was
also reflected in the development of the church organisation
and the lively construction activity. The development
of church architecture was strongly influenced by the work
of Jože Plečnik and Ivan Vurnik. In addition, the architects
Herman Hus and Momir Korunović worked in this field. In
the span of twenty years, the city saw the largest number of
new churches and other religious buildings, and Slovenian
Catholicism reached its zenith in Ljubljana’s urban space.
Lazarini’s palace on Gosposka Street 10 in the middle of New Square (Novi trg) in Ljubljana hides within its walls a millennial history that can be traced from the culture of urn cemeteries, Roman and Medieval times, to the baroque adaptations and modern city structures. The archival sources are available to us for the surrounding area as early as the thirteenth century, when the religious community of the place was established, more eloquent are the sources from the sixteenth century onwards, when we can trace continuity of ownership until the present day. The first known owner of the house on today’s Gosposka street 10 was Christopher Peer. The Peer family was a wellknown family in Carniola that originated from Gottschee (Kočevska). Many individuals of the surname Peer were also citizens of Ljubljana, one of them was even the mayor of Ljubljana in the mid-eighteenth century.
The history of obligatory primary schooling in Slovenia is connected not only with the forms of teaching, types of education, legal regulations regarding the implementation of education and the establishment of the state emancipatory and national ideology, but also with the material history reflected in the numerous school buildings. The architectural remnants of former and present school premises in Ljubljana offer us a telling tale about an abundant immovable heritage since school buildings always reflect the contemporary architectural and other social currents, the establishment of new pedagogical approaches and the provision of targeted high quality educational environment. In the first half of the 20th century in Ljubljana we can follow the architectural changes of school buildings from traditionally designed monumental
buildings, following the generic and typified ideals of public buildings in Austria-Hungary, down to the modernistic Yugoslav buildings following the model of the new language of functionalism, which particularly after World War Two, in line with the more modern pedagogical guidelines, left us with pavilion-like, corridor-free schools, designed by local architects from the Ljubljana architectural school.
izkušnje družbene preobrazbe, ki jo je usmerjala državna oblast. Osredotočenost na transformacijo nekdanjega vsakdanjega življenja nakazuje nov pogled na nekatere socialne in gospodarske politike v socialističnih režimih, da bi tako lahko preoblikovali naše razumevanje narave socializma. Z izrazi jugonostalgija, titoizem in novo jugoslovanstvo označujemo reminiscence na življenje v socialistični Jugoslaviji, že desetletja pa je vse to predmet številnih akademskih razprav. Pri analizi skupne jugoslovanske preteklosti obstaja poleg objektivnih dejstev tudi simbolno rekonstruirana in idealizirana preteklost. V vseh nekdanjih jugoslovanskih
republikah je podoba socialistične Jugoslavije na splošno bolj pozitivna pri običajnih ljudeh, manj pa na uradni državni ravni. Po propadu socializma se je bistveno spremenil tudi okvir spomina in smisel družbene korektnosti. Spomin na to obdobje ni statičen, ne le zaradi sprememb znotraj kapitalizma, ki vrednoti socializem, temveč tudi zaradi dejstva, da ima vsaka nova generacija nove izkušnje ter zato drugačen pogled na preteklost.
HOUSING CONDITIONS IN LJUBLJANA DURING THE PERIOD OF 1945–1965 The author of the paper describes the housing conditions in Ljubljana during the first two decades after the Second World War. The presentation follows the full development of the housing fund, the prewar conditions, the postwar reconstruction, urban industrialisation, the construction of low-rise housing estates, addressing the housing crisis, the daily life in low-rise housing estates, as well as the formation of new residential concepts ascribed to high-rises, neighbourhoods, terraced houses and the rising residential standard.

In the process of integration into the European Community as a result of lack acquis communautaire in the field of public administration developed principles of European governance as common standards and values of good governance as well as a mechanism to reform-oriented reformation of public administrations of CEE countries. These principles are reliability and predictability, openness and transparency, accountability, and efficiency and effectiveness. Public administration reform in Slovenia is the process of EU accession followed the principles and objectives of EAS in order to fully and successfully integrate administrative system in the European policy-making and implementation of common European policies. In this context plays a key role administrative capacity of each country, as it is essential for the successful implementation of the acquis. In the pre-accession annual reports of the European Commission's assessment of administrative capacity of Slovenia administrative system were improved with strong political will, the willingness of public administration modernization and reform proposals and to adopt legislative proposals. Slovenia is on the political, strategic, legal and executive level taken several steps in the direction of approaching European standards of governance.
The aim and purpose of the thesis is to present a comprehensive process of integrating principles of EAS in the Slovenian space through administrative reform proposals, amendments to key legislation, reorganization of the system of public administration and development of human resources and the commitment to successful, transparent and effective public administration. In the first narrative tasks is shown theoretical approach to understanding the emergence and development of European administrative space as a new administrative concept, while the second part of the thesis devoted to introducing and implementing the principles of EAS in the Slovenian public administration, which is shown on the adopted level political commitments, government policies, strategies and legislation. Annual state of Slovenia on the implementation of the principles is illustrated on the basis of qualitative indicators relevant international databases.
