With a GDP per capita of €14,963 in 2006, Slovenia is one of the more prosperous countries in Central Europe. Its 2 million people speak Slovenian, which in addition to the singular and plural has a special dual grammatical form which is a linguistic rarity. Slovenian is also the language of one of the oldest documents written in any Slavic tongue, the Freising Manuscripts from the tenth century. Parts of the Slovenian nation live in neighboring countries: Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast and Croatia to the east and southeast. The capital of the country is Ljubljana. On 1 January 2007 Slovenia joined the Eurozone as the fi rst of the new member states of the European Union. THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM Slovenia has four universities, the University of Ljubljana (http://www.uni-lj. si), the University of Maribor (http://www.uni-mb.si), the University of Primorska (http://www.upr.si/sl), and the University of Nova Gorica (http://www.p-ng.si/si) consisting of 44 faculties, art academies and professional colleges, as well as 10 single higher education institutions (samostojni visokošolski zavodi) established as private institutions.
