The Government also approved amendments to the Programme and issued a supplemented decree regarding Cohesion Policy implementation. The draft measures were prepared by the Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development, together with the other line ministries.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The adopted measures will not only improve Slovenia\u2019s spending of the available Cohesion Policy funds but will also build on Slovenia\u2019s Cohesion Policy Programme 2021-2027 and thus significantly contribute to Slovenia\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adopted measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction of the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP Platform) which will provide 100 million euros to develop key strategic technologies to strengthen economic independence. A large part of the available funding will be earmarked for cutting-edge research infrastructure that accelerates the development breakthrough of the Slovenian economy. Brussels recognises this measure as a significant contribution to the common European objectives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upgrading of the \u00a0Ljubljana railway station (Lot B and C), estimated at 205 million euros.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reducing flood risk in the Savinja river basin. This includes two measures, estimated at around 32 million euros, to protect La\u0161ko, \u017dalec and Celje from floods. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protection and rescue measures, including the establishment of the National Civil Protection Centre and the Flood Protection Centre, worth a total of 18.3 million euros.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Co-financing projects on the third development axis \u2013 North: Velenje-Slovenj Gradec amounting to 44.2 million euros.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addition funding of 12.1 million euros to upgrade the system for warning, awareness-raising and adaptation to weather-related emergencies in a changing climate \u2013 SOVIR.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase of public research equipment in the framework of priority international research infrastructure projects (ESFRI projects), which play a key role in generating new knowledge and innovation and are a must for industry-academia collaboration. We will upgrade the Slovenian research sphere with state-of-the-art research equipment in biomedicine, biotechnology, chemistry (restoration), structural biology and biophysics, which will also contribute to cooperation with the industry. The estimated value is 17 million euros.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete renovation of the Grajska ka\u0161\u010da (granary) in Ptuj, the largest granary in Slovenia. The project is estimated at 8 million euros.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The planned amendments of the Programme were also presented by Minister Jev\u0161ek to the new EU Cohesion Commissioner and Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, Raffaele Fitto, in Brussels last week. The amendments are subject to approval by the European Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the press conference following the government session, Minister Jev\u0161ek said that he and Commissioner Fitto had also discussed the future of Cohesion Policy and the European Commission\u2019s proposal that Cohesion Policy funds could also be used for addressing housing problems, i.e. to build public rental housing. The Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development supports the proposal and will amend Slovenia\u2019s EU Cohesion Policy Programme 2021-2027 accordingly once all the legal bases are in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The adopted measures will not only improve Slovenia\u2019s spending of the available Cohesion Policy funds but will also build on Slovenia\u2019s Cohesion Policy Programme 2021-2027 and thus significantly contribute to Slovenia\u2019s development.
