The area of land involved in the implementation of agri-environmental measures increased by 49% between 2015 and 2022, most notably at the beginning of the programming period. The share of this land in the total utilised agricultural area (UAA) thus rose from around 14% to approximately 20% of all UAA.

Sustainable mobility planning at both local and regional levels is rapidly gaining importance in Slovenia. Following the country’s accession to the EU and its related incentives, this approach began to take hold, and in the past decade it has made significant progress. An increasing number of municipalities and regions are responding to the encouragement of the EU and the competent ministry in Slovenia by developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), which are the key instruments of mobility planning.

The average age of the passenger car fleet in Slovenia has been steadily increasing; over the past thirty years, it has risen by almost four years — from 6.8 years in 1992 to 11.1 years in 2023. Over the past two decades, the share of cars older than 12 years has been continuously growing, by around 50% each decade. At the same time, the share of cars less than three years old has been steadily declining — by roughly 30% per decade.

Slovenia is at the infamous top of European countries in terms of the share of household expenditure on personal mobility. In Slovenia, households spent 17,5 % of household funds on personal mobility in 2022, namely 11,6 % for operation and 5,2 % for the purchase of vehicles. A smaller share, 0,8 %, was allocated to public transport. This does not take into account the annual depreciation cost of the car, which is the main cost for personal mobility in many households.

In the first decade of this century, Slovenia directed most of its investments into the road network, primarily the construction of the motorway cross. The railways, on the other hand, were largely neglected in terms of investment, making them uncompetitive compared to road transport.
