neodvisni

Neodvisni is a Slovenian adjective meaning independent or not dependent. It is used to describe people, organizations, institutions, or phenomena that operate free from external influence or control. The word is formed with the prefix ne- added to odvisni (dependent). The noun form neodvisnost denotes independence, the state of being not dependent.

In usage, you will encounter phrases such as neodvisni kandidati (independent candidates), neodvisni mediji (independent media), and neodvisno sodišče (an independent court). In politics, media, law and business, neodvisni often describes actors or bodies that are expected to be autonomous and impartial. In neighboring South Slavic languages, cognate forms exist with similar meaning, reflecting shared linguistic roots.

Notes: The term is largely generic rather than a specific organization or entity; if capitalized as a proper noun, it would denote a particular group or brand and should be defined in that context. Related terms include odvisnost (dependence) and neodvisnost (independence).
