I think your first one is a late instar nymph of Dolycoris baccarum, the Sloe Bug. The body does look a little bright but the shapes, and the head do seem to fit, it has a jewel effect on the head.
The second one I think is a mid instar nymph of Eurygaster testudinaria the Tortoise Bug.
Check them out, the drawings will give a link to pics if clicked on.

Tristan, I agree there are other species which are likely to be in Slovenia that we do not have, however there are many which are the same.
I had a site in my favourites which lists bugs of Slovenia, I had forgotten about it! This might be of future help..
