Zveza društev pravnikov Slovenije (ZDPS) in Društvo za mednarodno pravo za Slovenijo sta na pobudo Pravnega foruma za manjšine pri ZDPS 8. maja 2025 na Pravni fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani organizirala okroglo mizo ob 70-letnici Državne pogodbe o ponovni vzpostavitvi neodvisne in demokratične Avstrije (ADP) in njenega 7. člena, ki določa pravice slovenske narodne skupnosti na avstrijskem Koroškem in Štajerskem. Sodelovali so poleg predsednika ZDPS dr. Mihe Juharta in tajnika Pravnega foruma za manjšine Francija Gerbca kot razpravljavci dr. Vasilka Sancin, dr. Lojze Ude, mag. Rudi Vouk, Marco Jarc in dr. Attila Kovács. Okroglo mizo so sklenili s sprejetjem izjave, s katero predlagajo vzpostavitev institucionaliziranega stalnega konstruktivnega dialoga med vladama Republike Slovenije in Republike Avstrije. Dialog bi vključeval tudi predstavnike slovenske avtohtone manjšine na avstrijskem Koroškem in Štajerskem, vlad zveznih dežel Republike Avstrije in stroke obeh držav, njegov namen pa bi bil oblikovanje mehanizmov in ukrepov za izpolnitev obveznosti Republike Avstrije iz Državne pogodbe o ponovni vzpostavitvi neodvisne in demokratične Avstrije (ADP), zlasti 7. člena o zajamčenih pravicah slovenske manjšine na avstrijskem Koroškem in Štajerskem. Slovenski pravniki so pripravljeni sodelovati v tem procesu in pomagati po svojih najboljših močeh, tudi z organiziranim sodelovanjem s svojimi kolegi iz Republike Avstrije na različnih ravneh.

On 8 May 2025, the Faculty of Law of the University of Ljubljana hosted a round table organised by the Association of Jurists’ Societies of Slovenia (ZDPS) and the Society for International Law for Slovenia, at the initiative of the ZDPS Legal Forum for Minorities. The event marked the 70th anniversary of the State Treaty on the Reestablishment of an Independent and Democratic Austria (AST) and, in particular, examined Article 7, which defines the rights of the Slovenian national community in Austrian Carinthia and Styria. Alongside the ZDPS President, Miha Juhart, PhD, and the Secretary of the Legal Forum for Minorities, Franci Gerbec, the panel comprised Vasilka Sancin, PhD, Lojze Ude, PhD, Rudi Vouk, mag. iur., Marco Jarc, and Attila Kovács, PhD. At the close of discussion, the participants adopted a statement proposing the creation of an institutionalised, permanent and constructive dialogue between the governments of the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Austria. This dialogue would include representatives of the autochthonous Slovenian minority in Austrian Carinthia and Styria, the governments of the relevant Austrian Länder, and experts from both countries. Its purpose would be to devise mechanisms and measures to ensure Austria’s full compliance with the AST—particularly Article 7, which guarantees the rights of the Slovenian minority in Austrian Carinthia and Styria. Slovenian jurists have expressed their readiness to assist in this endeavour, including through structured co-operation with their Austrian colleagues at all appropriate levels.
