Yet a fourth amendment to the Slovenian recovery plan
Brussels/Ljubljana – EU finance ministers on Friday approved the fourth amendment to Slovenia’s recovery and resilience plan. Under the amendment, Slovenia will have a total of slightly fewer grants and loans, namely 2.14 billion euros, and there will also be fewer milestones and targets that will need to be met. This is expected to be the last major change to the plan, which expires at the end of August 2026.
The government had already approved the fourth amendment to the plan in October. It reduced the volume of available loans by 87 million euros to 526 million euros, while keeping the volume of grants at 1.61 billion. In total, Slovenia will have around 2.14 billion euros in grants and loans at its disposal. Under the new arrangement, there are to be 181 milestones and targets instead of the 200 previously envisaged.
If the newly approved amendment to the recovery plan is taken into account, Slovenia has so far drawn around 72 percent of all available funds, which places it among the more successful EU member states in terms of absorption. From the mechanism, it has so far received a total of 1.54 billion euros, with which the country has supported around 1,360 projects in various fields with a total value of 1.14 billion euros.
