Maybe Camponotus fallax, they're mating right now. And they are black and small for a Camponotus, like this one.

no it is not fallax , fallax has not body like this one ;) .... aethiops is like this one , but aethiops queen is about 14-14,5 mm of size ... and in Slovenija live foreli and this could be it´s queen
