One of Slovenia’s major policy successes was joining the European Union. This was one of its first major goals following independence in 1991. After years of negotiations, Slovenia succeeded in joining the organisation with nine other countries on 1 May 2004. In 2005 it assumed the presidency of the OSCE, and then two and a half years later, on 1 January 2007 to be precise, Slovenia was the first of the new EU members to join the euro, before becoming the first new member to hold the presidency of EU in the first half of 2008. Slovenia has been part of the Schengen Area since the end of 2007, which means that there is no control of border crossings with neighbouring countries in the EU. Slovenia presided over the Council of Europe’s committee of ministers in 2009, and has joined the OECD in 2010.
