National Reporting

Slovenia

Status

A brief summary report on ICZM in Slovenia, together with the country's main report, Regional Development Programme for South Primorska Region, Slovenia, 2002-2006, covering most issues of ICZM, was submitted for use in this Evaluation on 1 June 2006. No formal reporting was submitted to the European Commission.

Although ICZM is not officially in practice in Slovenia, first steps are in place with integrated management of ICZM processes established and running successfully within two major programmes: Regional Development Programme 2002 -2006 (RDP) and CAMP Slovenia (2004-2006).
