Before the amendments of the Student Association Act were implemented in 2019, student organisations operated as legal persons governed by private law. After the amendments entered into force, they were defined as legal persons governed by public law, whereby the legislation failed to determine their legal and organisational form. In the first part of the article, the case of the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana is discussed, namely how the amendments of the legislation pertaining to the definition of the status of student organisations impact their operations. In the second part of the article, an exception included in the Non-Governmental Organisations Act is presented, which allows entities to be awarded the status of non-governmental organisation operating in the public interest also if they were established by student organisations as legal persons governed by public law. The impact of the exception on the operations of the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana is also addressed.
