The paper presents Slovenian experiences in development and implementation of constructed wetlands (CW) in the last 20 years and outlines the future plans. According to Slovenian legislation, which bases on EU Directive 91/271/EEC, treatment of all muinicipal wastewaters must be provided until 2017. Since 1989 in Slovenia over 140 project documentations for CWs with horizontal and vertical subsurface flow were elaborated from which more than 70 were realized in Slovenia, Croatia and Italy for industry wastewater treatment (food processing, detergent factory, laundry, etc.) landfill sites, highway runoff, but most of all for municipal wastewaters from single households and settlements up to 500 PE. Treatment performance meets the legislation standards.
