Slovenia has implemented the Use of works of architecture or sculptures in public spaces (Art. 5.3(h) InfoSoc) exception in Article 55 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act. The national exception is slightly more restrictive than the EU exception.
Implementation summary:
This exception allows for the use of works permanently placed in parks, streets, squares, or other generally accessible premises. Reproduction in a three-dimensional form, used for the same purpose as the original work, or used for economic gain, is expressly excluded from the scope of the exception. The source and authorship of the work must be indicated, if the latter is indicated on the work used.
