This is a technical explanation of the Convention between the United States and the Republic of Slovenia signed on June 21, 1999 (the "Convention"). Negotiations took into account the U.S. Treasury Department's current tax treaty policy, and the U.S. Treasury Department's Model Income Tax Convention published on September 30, 1996. Negotiations also took into account the Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital, published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, as updated in November, 1997 (the "OECD Model") and recent tax treaties concluded by both countries.
