Neutral

In the first decade of this century, Slovenia directed most of its investments into the road network, particularly in building the motorway system. Railways were neglected also in terms of investments, making them non-competitive with road transport. After 2011, this trend began to change, although the total investment in transport infrastructure decreased after 2008. Since 2010, the country has allocated a larger share of funds to the modernization and upgrade of the railway network.

Bad

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
