My Schengen Visa issued by the Slovenian Embassy has the following printed in the first column Valid for: "SCHENGENSKE DRZAVE" and just after these words is printed "SVN" in golden ink.
My question is if this means I am restricted to travel only to Slovenia? Or can I travel to other Schengen countries too on this visa as this is a Multiple entry visa.

You seem to confuse geographical extension with number of entries.
A visa issued by a Schengen state may be valid for just the issuing state, the whole Schengen Area or something in between. As your visa title reads SCHENGENSKE DRŽAVE with no other text in that field it is valid for all Schengen states. You can visit any Schengen state you like in any order. There is ABSOLUTELY NOT any requirement to visit Slovenia first or enter the Schengen Area vis Slovenia. SVN just indicates the visa-issuing state.
A Schengen visa may be valid for one, two or multiple entries. This does not say anything about which states you may visit, just if you would be allowed to reenter the Schengen Area after leaving. Travelling directly between two Schengen states (by land, sea or air) does not cause any additional entries. With a multiple entry visa you can exit and reenter the Schengen Area as many times you like, provided that the total number of days in the Schengen Area does not exceed what is printed on your visa title and that you finally leave the Schengen Area before your visa expires.
Schengen Visa is valid for all Schengen countries. And you can go everywhere around that countries without any immigration check.
If your visa is issued by Slovenian embassy, so it mean your very first destination in Schengen area is Slovenia. Or you can arrive first in Prague and any other areas, but Slovenia is the longest you'll visiting...
You can travel to all the Schengen countries. But you have to go to Slovenia first. For example, you can't go to France for a couple of days before going to Slovenia.
If you are touring europe you authorised to talk over with one more nation within the shengen states however you need to return to the fashioned point of exit of that nation you left whilst you went to portugal and you have got to additionally depart portugal from the equal factor you entered. Yes.. The foundations are that screwed up..
