The government has confirmed 75 regional development projects that will be awarded budget funding. Their total value is SIT 5.9bn (EUR 24.6m), whereby the government co-fund them with SIT 1.9bn (EUR 7.3m) this year and SIT 189m (EUR 0.8m) next year, Regional Development Minister Ivan Zagar told the press on Thursday.
The projects have been confirmed in line with criteria such as the number of people, size and development risk index of the region where they will be implemented. "Most money will go into high-risk regions," Zagar said.
The objective of regional incentives is to help municipalities and regions with regional development infrastructure, in particular zoning and investment documentation. The money is intended to boost economic growth and job creation.
The largest share of the money (SIT 542m/EUR 2.3m) has been awarded to projects in Podravje, NE Slovenia, while programmes in Dolenjsko, in the south of the country, will get SIT 350m (EUR 1.5m).
The poorest region in Slovenia, Pomurje, will get SIT 335m (EUR 1.4m) for ten projects that were confirmed.
