Slovenian government decentralization efforts

Overview

The Slovenian government has initiated a decentralization process by establishing the headquarters of the Ministry of Local Self-Government, Cohesion and Regional Development in Maribor. This move marks the first time a ministry has been seated outside the capital, Ljubljana.

Prime Minister Janez Janša described the relocation as the “first spring swallow of Slovenian decentralization,” noting that further transfers of ministerial seats and departments to other regions are expected. Minister Monika Kirbiš Rojs stated the initiative aims to promote polycentric development and strengthen all regions. While the Maribor office currently accommodates 71 employees, the ministry maintains additional units in Ljubljana and Štanjel to ensure a presence in the Styria and Primorska regions.
