Slovenian President Danilo Tuerk signed on Monday a decree on the 2008 general elections, setting Sept. 21 as the date of the elections.
Tuerk said the elections will officially be called on June 30, which will also be the date launching the preparations for the vote, the Slovenian news agency STA reported.
Tuerk told the press after signing the decree that the period ahead of the elections is also "a mirror of the political culture of our society." This is why he wants the election campaign to be based on arguments and hopes that the election turnout will be as high as possible.
The election campaign ahead of the autumn general election will officially be launched on August 22, a month before the election on Sunday. Candidates have until August 27 to register for the vote.
This year's general elections will be the fifth since Slovenia's independence in 1991. The last election at which the fourth seating of the 90-member parliament was elected was held on Oct. 3,2004.
