Yeah i know that my money is NOT of course on some separate bank account but is on one big bank account of bitstamp. I know that. Thats one ofthe reason why im worried because the sums on that account have to in EACH moment far overreach the 100 000K insurance for EUR bank accounts :-)... So if slovenia would seize the money there i wouldnt get anything back :-).
And yeah there are other problems in bitcoin world, but slovenian banks are currentlly regretablly one of them :-(.

Slovenia would seize the money? Please don't write such nonsense. I think what you are (very clumsily) trying to say is, that if Slovenian branch of Unicredit would go bankrupt, Slovenian state would only insure (i.e. vouch for) deposits up to 100.000€, which is standard EU limit.
The only problem Bitstamp has are posts like this. I don't think they have their cash sitting on a local Unicredit account anyway and even if they were, Unicredit Slovenia is doing just fine. It was stress tested in 2013 and it didn't have to be included in the bad bank scheme. 3 other banks were included, but even there no deposits were touched, above or bellow 100.000€!
Ignorance pumping FUD, all there is to it.
Great info. Still general principle applies though. Don't leave huge wads of fiat (or bitcoins) lying around any exchange - gox, bitstamp, whoever it they may be. Your money is always safer in your hands.
Local international bank branches accounts are not the same as international bank accounts, diffrent Treasury.
Should slovenia get what Cyprus got they will feel the burn too, but it will not be an option anyway as there will be little gain in that scenario.
The only ones who could propably get the same treatment would be Lux, and Malta, as Taxpayers would not be able to cover their banks anyway.
So Slovenia is safe IMMHO
