By definition, this indicates that it was an organization explicitly created to seek influence over government policy and actions. Its foundational goal, as with entities of this class, was to achieve election to directly take part in government or legislation. It operated as a formal instance of a political party within the geopolitical boundaries of Slovakia. ### History and Official Naming Timeline The organization was officially registered in the Slovak Republic on October 27, 2009. At the time of its inception, the party was registered under the official name "AZEN - Aliancia za Európu národov". After operating for just over two years, the party underwent a significant structural or ideological shift, resulting in a legal name change. On December 9, 2011, the organization abandoned its original name and officially adopted the name "Zelení". The party's operations were ultimately halted in early 2013. A significant event marking the end of its active status occurred on February 26, 2013, when the organization officially entered liquidation. The liquidation process was finalized a few months later, and the political party was officially dissolved, abolished, and demolished on July 29, 2013. ### Headquarters and Operations During its operational years, the political party maintained its physical and legal headquarters within Slovakia. The preferred official headquarters for the entity was located in Bratislava. Specifically, state records denote a primary address at Molecova 1, 84104 Bratislava, situated within the country of Slovakia.
