Brussels/Ljubljana – On Tuesday, the European Commission released its 2025 review of the EU’s justice system. The report highlights Slovenia’s advancements in digitalization and the reduction of the duration of corruption case proceedings, while also noting ongoing challenges in handling complex money laundering cases.
Slovenia is classified among countries with relatively stable indicators. However, similar to some other member states, officials in Brussels indicated that the duration of money laundering prosecution cases remains lengthy. The Slovenian Ministry of Justice reported that in 2023, the time taken for these initial proceedings increased, placing Slovenia as the third slowest country in this regard, following Greece and Spain.
According to the ministry, issues persist regarding the duration of proceedings, especially in civil and commercial cases at the first instance and in administrative disputes. They emphasized their commitment to optimizing processes and mitigating backlogs with the support of European resilience and recovery instruments. The report also indicates a decrease in the average duration of court proceedings in corruption cases in Slovenia over the past year.
In terms of digitalization, Slovenia is recognized for enhancing the accessibility of judicial services through electronic tools in recent years. The report acknowledges positive strides made in improving access to legal protection for victims of violence, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups. (July 1)
