Ljubljana, 9 July - Statistics show that there are around 6,040 settlements of various types in Slovenia, and some of their names have a very positive or rather negative connotation, such as "party" or "injustice". However, there are also towns named Rome, Vienna and Jerusalem, although much much smaller than the world's eponymous cities.
