Cabinet Visits Central Slovenian Region

The central region of Slovenia (which includes the capital Ljubljana) is, according to various criteria, statistically far above the Slovenian and also European average, PM Janez Jansa said at a meeting with mayors, business leaders, MPs and councillors following the cabinet's tour of the region on Wednesday.

Jansa added that the speed of development of this region also dictates the speed with which the rest of the country develops. He nevertheless warned that statistics did not tell the whole truth and that even within the region there were large differences. He stressed that the Ribnica-Kocevje subregion (S) only manages 85% of Slovenia's development level and is also one of the most sparsely settled areas in Slovenia.
Jansa pointed out that the main problems of the Osrednjeslovensko region are its unequal development and development opportunities. The region moreover faces infrastructure problems and difficulties stemming from the unclear division of power between the state and municipal levels, Jansa added after the last in the first round of the cabinet's visits to Slovenian statistical regions.
