The question whether the entire
Zdravljica
or only its seventh stanza constitutes the Slovenian national anthem, remains unresolved. Whereas the
Constitution of Slovenia
determines the title of the poem, the act about the anthem specifically determines its seventh stanza. It has been argued that the act contradicts the constitution and that the question should be resolved by the
Slovenian Constitutional Court
