c. Persons with refugee status may apply for a Refugee Travel Document at<br />

<strong>the</strong> M<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Interior <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Republic <strong>of</strong> Slovenia, and are required to<br />

enclose two personal photographs with <strong>the</strong> application. A Refugee Travel<br />

Document will be issued for a ten-year period and can be prolonged upon<br />
