At todays meeting, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia issued the Regulation on the determination of health regions. The introduction of new geographical units (health regions) into the public health service system stems from the amendment to the Health Activity Act, which entered into force in May 2025. Taking into account the division of the Republic of Slovenia into statistical regions, the regulation introduces six health regions, namely: Center, East, North-East, South-East, North-West and West. A balance between geographic accessibility and population is taken into account when determining health regions, and each health region has at least one general hospital. The goal of defining health regions is that public health institutions and other providers of health activities in the public health service network develop evenly and in parallel, and that they connect and cooperate with each other. Health regions also pursue the goal of equal, coordinated and uninterrupted access to health services.
The government has issued a Regulation on the preparation and publication of acts in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, which specifies in more detail the method of publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, the composition and method of assigning unique identification marks, and the method of preparing acts in the unified Slovenian standard for a normative act, as well as the method of using the modular framework for the preparation of electronic documents. The mentioned regulation comes into force on March 1, 2026, when a new way of issuing the Official Gazette comes into force in accordance with the Act on Publication in the Official Gazette.
The Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted the Position on the invitation of the President of the United States Donald Trump to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Slovenia, dr. Robert Golob to the Peace Committee. Given that the Charter of the Committee goes beyond the narrow framework of Gaza and raises fundamental questions, especially regarding respect for the principles and structure of the United Nations (UN), which must not be called into question in any way, Slovenia has no intention of responding positively to the invitation to the Peace Committee at this stage. Due to the international arrangement, where the UN plays a central role, Slovenia, like the entire EU, has been living in peace for many decades. The risk of dismantling the UN system is what is most worrying. Slovenia supports the Committee with a clearly defined mandate for Gaza, which is based on UN General Assembly Resolution 2803. The Committees mandate is simply too broad at the moment and can dangerously undermine the international order based on the UN Charter. He remains in regular contact with allies within the EU when coordinating the final position on the invitation. Todays informal meeting of the European Council will be an opportunity to continue the discussion. Slovenia remains firmly committed to effective multilateralism, a ceasefire in Gaza, and a credible political future for Palestinians and Israelis based on the solution of two states, Israel and Palestine, living in peace and security.
