Ljubljana – Slovenia has received 1.1 billion euros from the recovery and resilience mechanism since the corona crisis. From the start of the plan implementation in 2021 to February 14 this year, it has paid out 762 million euros to final recipients for already implemented project activities, the Government Communication Office communicated after the government session on Wednesday.

Based on the mechanism’s implementation, Slovenia has received 673 million euros in non-repayable funds and 426 million euros in loans. This is 41 percent of all European recovery and resilience funds available to the country until the end of the summer of 2026, explained the government office.

The European Commission, in the context of reviewing the first three already paid claims for payment, assessed that Slovenia has satisfactorily met all 64 related milestones and targets.

According to the assessment of the ministries responsible for the implementation of reforms and investments from the recovery and resilience plan, another 32 milestones and targets are informally fulfilled, which will be the subject of future claims for payment.

The composition and timeline for sending the next, fourth claim for payment will depend on the success of meeting the milestones and targets in the next installments for non-repayable funds and loans, they concluded. For the implementation of investments and reforms from the recovery plan, Slovenia has 1.61 billion euros in non-repayable funds and 1.07 billion euros in loans available from the EU’s recovery and resilience mechanism until the end of the summer of 2026, after the corona crisis.
