Pension question, Slovenia

How do I apply for a Slovenian pension from abroad?

The application goes in one country only, normally the country of residence or of last employment, and must name every country you were insured in. ZPIZ states the pension runs from the day the conditions are met but at most from the first day of the following month and six months back, so delay past that line goes unpaid.
