About the website
GOV.SI provides information on the work and organisation of the Government, the Prime Minister, ministries, bodies within ministries, government offices and all of the administrative units. The content of Slovenian diplomatic missions abroad and selected content of the state administration bodies currently still published on the websites of individual projects is being moved to GOV.SI.
Type of information
Information on the GOV.SI website is categorised into three groups according to the topic it addresses:
- presentation of individual state administration bodies, their responsibilities and organisation;
- policies (e.g. culture, agriculture, forestry and food, and foreign affairs) that direct the user to more detailed and complete information about each topic. Users do not have to know which body is responsible for the information they are searching for, as they can find it on the basis of the topic it addresses.
- registries (e.g. of public notices, job vacancies and projects) that provide a single place for all announcements to be made by the state administration bodies and ensure greater transparency and availability of information.
News and events associated with the state administration bodies are also available in one place.
In addition to the complete presentation of the state administration bodies, GOV.SI provides basic data about other national authorities and links to their websites (for example the President of the Republic, the National Assembly, the National Council and courts).
Website administrators
GOV.SI is the central website of the state administration bodies, meaning that the content is provided by all the ministries, bodies within the ministries, government offices and administrative units. Each body is responsible for its published information being accurate, timely and correct. At the bottom of each webpage there is a notice saying which body is responsible for the published information. All the state administration bodies publish their content in compliance with the uniform instructions issued by the Government Communication Office as the GOV.SI content coordinator.
GOV.SI language versions
The information on GOV.SI is published in the Slovenian language. Essential information about national authorities is also provided in the languages of the ethnic minorities, i.e. the Italian and Hungarian languages respectively. The content of the state administration bodies (especially the administrative units) that operate on bilingual territories of the Republic of Slovenia is to a greater extent provided in the Italian and Hungarian languages. GOV.SI also provides essential information in English.
With the gradual transfer of the content of the Slovenian diplomatic missions abroad to the GOV.SI website, selected content will be available not only in Slovenian and English but also in the official languages of the host countries.
GOV.SI is the result of the project entitled Renewal and Optimisation of the State Administration Websites
GOV.SI is the result of the project entitled Renewal and Optimisation of the State Administration Websites, which was managed by the Ministry of Public Administration in cooperation with the Government Communication Office. The project was financed with European funds and the state budget. It was completed in November 2021 with the transfer to GOV.SI of all the presentation websites of the state administration bodies.
In October 2019, the GOV.SI website was awarded the Brumen Foundation Award for Excellent Slovenian Design, and in July 2020, the 2020 Netko Prize for the best website of a public or non-governmental organisation.
